EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the historical significance of Warren Farm battery, a relic from the Second World War. The image showcases the impressive earthworks that once housed Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery ZE1, which later transformed into a vital Nucleus Force Headquarters Battery. Damian Grady's expert lens transports us back to Chadwell Heath in London during 2017, where this remarkable piece of history still stands. The print reveals intricate details of the anti-aircraft battery, highlighting its strategic location and formidable defenses. The earthworks are a testament to the ingenuity and determination displayed by those who built them amidst the chaos of war. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear echoes of sirens wailing and feel the tension that permeated these grounds during wartime. Historic England has preserved this image as a reminder of our nation's resilience and sacrifice during one of humanity's darkest periods. It serves as an important educational tool for future generations to understand and appreciate our collective history. Damian Grady's skillful composition allows us to fully appreciate both the magnitude and intricacy of this historic site.
