Still trying to fully map out all the events that happened so I know where to start, looking back however I'm told that the timing belt didn't snap and I'm wrong.

On the Humber Bridge, instead of the timing belt snapping the alternator belt did and in the process got caught up in and jammed up the timing belt. Having the car towed to my mechanic, the alternator belt was to be replaced and mechanic said the timing belt change was due, so might as well do both at the same time. Hope I got the events and order right this time.

Good news then on possible damage. If timing belt didn't snap as I've been corrected, can't see a way there can be damage.
