From Blackburns ' The Guns of Victory' the writer asks 2 questions! The Tower + The dumped shells. Rob
I'm sure I've been to that Church Tower with Rob (We were photographing headstones) in the area. I pointed out to him that you could see the new bricks in the tower where it must have been re-built after the war. So I suspect it was destroyed, assuming its the same one-I may have a photo somewhere. As for the canals-I suspect they would have been cleared of ordnance along with all the vehicles that were dumped in them at the end of May 1940.
