EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of a large air raid on Easton Road, Bristol. The morning sun casts a somber light on the scene, revealing the destruction left in its wake. In the foreground stands a bus from Lawrence Hill depot, now reduced to a mere shell by the force of an enemy bomb. The remnants serve as a haunting reminder of the horrors faced by civilians during World War Two. To the right, Victor T. Huntley's car dealership can be seen amidst the rubble. Once bustling with activity and dreams of mobility, it now stands as another casualty of war. This image encapsulates both loss and resilience; ordinary lives shattered but not broken. The death toll for that fateful night's raid reached 275 souls, their names etched forever in history as victims of senseless violence. The date engraved in our collective memory is March 17th, 1941 – a day that forever changed Bristol. This photograph is part of Memory Lane Prints' collection documenting the Bristol Blitz between November 1940 and April 1941. It serves as an important testament to those who endured unimaginable hardships on Britain's home front during this tumultuous period. As we look back at this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who lived through these dark days and honor their strength and courage in rebuilding their city from its ashes.
