EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the devastating aftermath of the heavy enemy bombing raids on the Surrey Commercial Docks in Rotherhithe, London, which took place on the 7th of September 1940. The image shows the left wing of the No.8 warehouse engulfed in flames, marking the start of the Blitz upon London and other important UK cities during World War II. The sihouette of cranes and the dark smoke billowing from the burning warehouses create a haunting and poignant scene. The London Fire Brigade was quickly on the scene to combat the blaze, but the damage had already been done. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war and the resilience of those who lived through it. The date of this photograph is significant, as it marks the beginning of the relentless air raids that would come to be known as the Blitz, which would continue to terrorize the British population for the next few years. This historical image is a testament to the courage and determination of those who lived through this dark period in history.
