Perhaps the most enduring image of Teesside during the Second World War is the bombing of
Perhaps the most enduring image of Teesside during the Second World War is the bombing of Middlesbrough railway station.
It was on August 3 1942 that a lone Luftwaffe Dornier Do 217 evaded British air defences, took aim at the Victorian glass and steel structure below, and dropped a single bomb, killing eight railway workers and civilians.
Now, James Henwood, 82, has told how he could be the last man alive, who lived to tell the tale.
" August 3 1942 - Bank Holiday. If I could paint, I would get every detail, " said James, " Its so vivid."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting aftermath of the devastating bombing of Middlesbrough railway station during World War II. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and courage displayed by the people of Teesside in the face of adversity. On that fateful Bank Holiday, August 3,1942, a lone enemy aircraft managed to bypass British air defenses and unleash destruction upon this Victorian architectural gem. The photograph not only showcases the ruins left behind but also tells a remarkable story through James Henwood, now 82 years old, who may be one of the last surviving witnesses to recount this tragic event. His vivid memories bring forth an overwhelming desire to capture every detail if he possessed artistic skills. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to that moment when lives were forever changed. The remnants of carriages scattered amidst debris serve as a stark reminder of the eight innocent railway workers and civilians whose lives were tragically cut short. Memory Lane Prints has expertly preserved this historical artifact for future generations to reflect upon and pay homage to those affected by war. This photograph encapsulates not just an isolated incident but represents countless similar scenes witnessed across towns during World War II—a testament to both human suffering and unwavering determination in times of darkness.
