This print captures the resilience and determination of Swansea, South Wales, in the aftermath of World War Two. Taken on May 20th, 1947, it showcases a city that has begun to rebuild itself after enduring the devastating bombings of 1941 during what became known as the Swansea Three Nights Blitz. The image provides an aerial view of a city still bearing scars from its wartime ordeal. The ruins and decimation caused by relentless attacks from the German Luftwaffe are evident, yet amidst this destruction lies a glimmer of hope. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a community ready to start over and rise from the ashes. Swansea was deliberately targeted due to its strategic significance as a port and docks, along with its oil refinery just beyond.
