1946 Attack Attack From The Skies Blitz Bomb Bomb Damage Bombed Church Damage Luftwaffe Mess The Blitz Worship Air Raid
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the aftermath of destruction that befell the Congregational Church on Albion Street, Hull, in 1946. Just a year after World War Two had ended, the scars of war were still visible as this religious sanctuary stood amidst ruins. The church had fallen victim to relentless bombings during the conflict, enduring over 1,000 hours under alert from June 19th, 1940 until 1945. Hull was no stranger to devastation; it suffered greatly during The Blitz. Almost 1,200 lives were tragically lost within its city limits due to bombing raids. This image serves as a somber reminder of those dark times when fear and destruction loomed overhead. The photograph offers a glimpse into the resilience and faith of the community who continued to gather for worship despite their shattered surroundings. It symbolizes both physical damage caused by Luftwaffe attacks and spiritual strength that endured even in such trying times. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time circa March 1st, 1946, let us remember not only the horrors of war but also pay tribute to those who rebuilt their lives and communities from ashes. May this image serve as a testament to human perseverance and remind us never to forget the sacrifices made during World War Two.
