EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the Coventry Evening Telegraph office in Hertford Street, City Centre after it was bombed during the Blitz on November 14th, 1940. The destructive impact of war is evident as the building stands in ruins, a stark reminder of the relentless conflict that engulfed World War Two. The image showcases the resilience and strength of those who worked at this newspaper office. Despite being targeted by enemy bombs, not a single civilian casualty occurred among its personnel. It is a testament to their bravery and determination to continue reporting amidst chaos and destruction. The damage caused by this bombing raid was extensive; it destroyed vital equipment such as rotary presses, linotypes, foundries, processing departments, and even their library. Yet despite these losses, the Coventry Evening Telegraph persevered through adversity to deliver news to its readers. In an era where communication played a crucial role in keeping spirits high during wartime, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how journalists risked their lives to provide information and support for their communities. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history captured by Memory Lane Prints on behalf of Coventry Telegraph, let us remember those who faced unimaginable challenges with unwavering courage - both behind these walls and throughout our nation - during one of humanity's darkest chapters: World War Two.
