EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the blitz in Bristol during the 1940s. With many homes reduced to ruins, it showcases a harsh reality that followed World War II - squatters becoming a familiar sight as families sought shelter in abandoned buildings. In this particular image taken in Somerset circa June 1946, we witness a family making their home amidst the rubble. The resilience and determination of this family is evident as they navigate through a challenging period of homelessness. Their resourcefulness shines through as they create some semblance of normalcy within these dilapidated walls. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by countless families across England during this era. Transporting us back to an important chapter in history, this snapshot evokes nostalgia for those who lived through or have heard stories about post-war Britain. It reminds us not only of the physical destruction caused by war but also highlights how communities came together to rebuild and support one another. As we reflect on this image from Memory Lane Prints, let it serve as a tribute to all those who endured such difficult times and found strength amidst adversity.
