EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England Archive takes us back to a significant moment in history - October 1915, during the tumultuous times of World War I. The image showcases Lincolns Inn Chapel, nestled in the heart of Holborn, London. However, what truly captures our attention is the visible aftermath of destruction caused by a German Zeppelin attack. The north side of the chapel bears witness to bomb damage inflicted upon it during this fateful event. The devastating impact is evident through the presence of a prominent bomb crater that serves as a chilling reminder of the horrors endured during wartime. This photograph was captured shortly after the bomb fell on October 13th, offering an unfiltered glimpse into the immediate aftermath and chaos that ensued. Despite its resilience and historical significance, even this sacred place did not escape unscathed from war's wrath. The glass plate negative itself also displays signs of damage - perhaps symbolic evidence reflecting both physical and emotional scars left behind by such acts of aggression. Through this poignant image, we are transported back in time to bear witness to one small fragment of London's experience during World War I. It stands as a testament to human perseverance amidst adversity while reminding us never to forget those who suffered and sacrificed for future generations' freedom and peace.
