1941 Bomb Damage Bombing Buildings Destruction Devastation Works Air Raid
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kingston Works of Reckitt and Colman Ltd in Dansom Lane, Hull - a haunting reminder of the devastating impact of war. This powerful print captures the aftermath of an air raid on the early hours of 18th July 1941, when German Luftwaffe dropped a new type of oil bomb on this industrial hub. The scene is one of destruction and devastation. The once bustling buildings now lay in ruins, their skeletal structures standing as a testament to the horrors experienced during World War II. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when our home front was under constant threat. This photograph not only showcases the physical damage inflicted by enemy bombings but also serves as a poignant symbol for resilience and determination. Despite such destruction, it is remarkable how communities like Hull rallied together to rebuild what had been lost. The Kingston Works played a vital role in supporting Britain's war effort, producing essential goods for both soldiers on the front lines and civilians at home. This image reminds us that even amidst chaos and despair, industries continued to function with unwavering resolve. As we reflect upon this piece from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who lived through these dark times and honor their strength in rebuilding our nation.
