Counting the number of bombs dropped wasn't practical or important. Bear in mind that often bombs fell in clusters and weren't dropped at neat intervals. If an area was hit by a cluster of bombs it usually wasn't possible to do more than estimate the overall tonnage, if that.

How much damage was done to London on the first night of the blitz?
There is not an exact figure of the first night of the Blitz. I did find this record regarding the air raids done by the German Bomber Planes. The first intentional air raids on London were mainly aimed at the Port of London, causing severe damage. Late in the afternoon of 7 September, 364 bombers attacked, escorted by 515 fighters. Another 133 bombers attacked that night. Many of the bombs aimed at the docks fell on neighbouring residential areas, killing 436 Londoners and injuring 1,666. This comes from Wikipedia Encyclopedia under the heading of The Blitz. See related link below to read the rest of it.
What kind of trouble was caused by the Blackburn bombs?
The Nazi had bad info or bad aim. There was a line of bombs which fell in a field off Livesey Branch Road. This was quite alarming as the bombs were in direct line with the fuse factory suggesting Nazi intelligence but luckily were two miles off course. Whether it was considered strategically unimportant (despite its munitions and fuse factories) or whether it was due to its relative isolation Blackburn manged to escape from World War Two virtually untouched.

How many bombs were dropped in the blitz?
There were different varieties of bombs that fell on London, These were: * H.E. (High Explosive) bombs * Incendiary Bombs, also called Fire Bombs as they started fires. * Oil Bombs 1 in every 10 bombs that fell was a 'dud', which meant it did not blow up on impact. Some bombs had a delayed fuse, which meant they could explode at any time, before or after they had hit the ground. This meant that it was almost impossible to tell the difference between the bombs that were dropped. Civillians were evacuated from the area until the bombs had been deactivated. Bombs are still being found today. In 1944, two new weapons began to be used. They were the V1 and V2 bombs. A V1 bomb, offten called a doodlebug, had no pilot and made a droning sound when it flew. When the noise stopped people knew they had 15 seconds to get out before the explosion happened. As they had no pilot, may V1's fell into the sea or missed their targets and fell into the countryside. Almost 9,500 v1s were sent off towards london, but less than 2,500 actually got there. many were destrooyed by aircraft, guns and barrage baloons, and the rest just missed their targets. The first doodlebug to ever explode was in Swanscome in Kent. A V2 bomb was a much larger version of a V1 bomb. they flew without any noise, which meant no warning of where or when they were going to fall. They also flew too high to be shot down by aircraft or ground guns. The explosion was much larger with these bombs, but not so many were fired.
