I am pretty bored now that the Cup is over and the season has yet to begin, so I’ve been passing the time with a little net surfing. I managed to come across this little site that is pretty interest.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/ is the BBC’s archive of World War II Stories. So on a lark I decided to look up Arsenal during the war, and stories about Highbury. Wow–there were quite a few. You can run this search to find out about Highbury during WWII
Anyway…in case you need a way to pass the time until the season begins…

There was a picture on Arsenal.Com recently. Parting Shots, as they call it, that shows groundsman inspecting the area where a bomb landed on Highbury.
