EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the aftermath of one of the most devastating events in Coventry's history - the Blitz of November 14th, 1940. The image showcases Broadgate, a once vibrant area now reduced to rubble by relentless bombing during World War II. To the right of this haunting scene stands the market clock, miraculously left intact amidst the destruction. However, its fate was sealed as it would later be demolished and replaced when a new circular Coventry Retail Market emerged on a different site in 1958. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by Coventrians during those dark times. It captures not only physical devastation but also symbolizes hope for rebuilding and renewal that would follow in years to come. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era marked by sacrifice, loss, and unwavering spirit. It is a testament to both human strength and our ability to rebuild even from the ashes. Memory Lane Prints has preserved this historical gem for all generations to reflect upon - an evocative piece capturing not just an event but also encapsulating an entire chapter in Coventry's rich history.
