The top image is a genuine historic photograph of what is now Times Square, then called Long Acre Square, from
1900. The Museum of the City of New York identifies it as a Byron Company photograph and specifically mentions the Hotel Cadillac and horse-drawn vehicles One interesting detail: it technically wasn't called Times Square in 1900. The area was renamed Times Square in 1904 after the New York Times moved there.

An 1892 Richardsonian Romanesque building that served as the Turtle Wax headquarters in the 1950s. In 1956, Turtle Wax placed a massive 34-foot, 15,000-pound fiberglass and steel turtle wearing a top hat and holding a wax bottle on the roof. The glowing, rotating sign was taken down in the late 1960s when the company moved, and the building was eventually demolished. Today, sadly, the site is a small landscaped traffic triangle.

On the night of January 10th, 1941, during the Blitz, a German bomb struck outside the Royal Exchange at Bank junction in the City of London and tore down into the Bank Underground station.

The blast opened up a huge crater in the street, directly where several main roads met, severing gas and water mains that caused the station to flood below.

Death toll estimates vary between sources, from the 56 recorded on the official memorial plaque to over 100 in other contemporary accounts.
