EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of an air raid on Bridlington, a town in the North East of England during World War II. In July 1940, German airmen from the Luftwaffe targeted this peaceful community, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. The image showcases the remnants of a once-thriving hairdressing business that fell victim to this merciless attack. Tragically, five lives were lost in this harrowing event, including two young girls who had sought refuge within the hairdressers' premises. The high explosive impact obliterated their sanctuary and shattered any semblance of normalcy that existed before. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the horrors endured by ordinary civilians during wartime. Amidst the rubble and ruins lie stories untold – tales of resilience, loss, and survival etched into every broken brick. As we gaze upon this haunting scene frozen in time on that fateful day - July 11th, 1940 - we are compelled to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by those who lived through such atrocities. It stands as a testament to human strength amidst unimaginable devastation. Memory Lane Prints presents us with an opportunity to honor these memories and pay tribute to those affected by war's relentless grip. Let us remember not only what was lost but also cherish our enduring peace while striving for a future free from such destruction.
