Hull, Yorkshire, during The Blitz in World War Two.
The Hull Blitz was the bombing campaign that targeted the English port city of Kingston upon Hull by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War.
Large-scale attacks took place on several nights throughout March 1941, resulting in over 200 deaths. The most concentrated attacks were on the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May 1941, resulting in just under 400 deaths, and another large-scale attack took place in July 1941 with 143 fatalities.
The city spent more than 1, 000 hours under alert during raids from 19 June 1940 to 1945, with almost 1, 200 people in the city killed as a result of the bombing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting aftermath of the Hull Blitz during World War Two. Taken circa 8th May 1941, it showcases the devastating impact of the German Luftwaffe's bombing campaign on this English port city in Yorkshire. The skyline is engulfed in smoke as rooftops lay shattered and destroyed, bearing witness to the horrors of war. The Hull Blitz was a series of large-scale attacks that occurred throughout March 1941, resulting in over 200 deaths. However, it was the concentrated assaults on the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May that inflicted unimaginable devastation with just under 400 fatalities. Another significant attack took place in July that year, claiming an additional 143 lives. During this period, Hull endured more than 1,000 hours under alert from raids between June 1940 and 1945. Tragically, nearly 1,200 people lost their lives as a result of these bombings. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength displayed by those who lived through such harrowing times. It stands as a testament to their courage amidst destruction and loss. Memory Lane Prints offers us an opportunity to reflect upon history's darkest moments while honoring those affected by them. Let us remember this chapter from our past so that we may strive for peace and unity in our present and future endeavors.
