EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the aftermath of a devastating air raid on Queen Victoria Square in Hull, East Yorkshire. The focus of the image is the Prudential Tower, standing tall amidst a scene of destruction. It was taken on the morning of 8th May 1941, just hours after it had been severely hit during an intense bombardment that shook the city to its core. The Prudential Tower, once a symbol of strength and stability, now stood as a testament to the horrors of war. Despite being damaged beyond repair, it defiantly remained upright for one more day before being demolished for public safety reasons. The image showcases the resilience and determination displayed by both civilians and landmarks alike during this dark chapter in history. The rubble surrounding the tower serves as a stark reminder of the devastation caused by relentless bombings during World War II. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where communities rallied together in times of crisis. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope can still be found amidst ruins. Let us remember those who lived through these challenging times and honor their unwavering spirit.
