EDITORS COMMENTS

In this aerial photograph, Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, England, stands proudly amidst the verdant landscape, its ancient walls and towering spires a testament to the rich history and religious significance of this revered site. Canterbury, the historic city that surrounds the Cathedral, has been the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of England since the 6th century. The Cathedral itself has long been a pilgrimage destination, with its hallowed grounds attracting visitors from all corners of the world, most famously depicted in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. However, the Cathedral's storied past is not without its scars. During World War II, Canterbury was heavily bombed, leaving much of the city in ruins. The aerial photograph taken in April 1947 reveals the extent of the damage, as well as an intriguing glimpse into the past. Beneath the ruins of the bombed buildings, the remnants of the Roman town that once lay beneath Canterbury are visible, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city's ancient history. The Aerofilms Collection, from which this photograph originates, is a remarkable archive of aerial photographs that documents the changing landscape of England from the 1910s to the 1950s. This photograph, taken in 1947, provides a unique perspective on the damage wrought by war and the resilience of this historic city and its iconic Cathedral.
