LIVERPOOL.

The widespread devastation caused by bombing during the Second World War is apparent. Liverpool Old Custom House on Canning Place stands roofless in the foreground after firebomb damage in the Liverpool blitz of 1941. It was demolished in 1950.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing Liverpool's urban landscape in July 1946, following the devastating effects of the Second World War. The photograph, EAW001911 from the Aerofilms Collection at Historic England, offers a bird's-eye view of the five-way junction of Duke Street, Hanover Street, and Paradise Street. The former Sailors Home, now demolished, stands at the junction. The extensive damage caused by bombing during the war is evident in this photograph. The Liverpool Old Custom House on Canning Place, roofless in the foreground, is a poignant reminder of the firebomb damage inflicted during the Liverpool Blitz of 1941. Regrettably, the Old Custom House was demolished in 1950. The area around South John Street has undergone significant changes since this image was taken. Whole blocks have been cleared and levelled, making way for redevelopment. Today, Chavasse Park, the Moat House Hotel, and the Bus Station occupy much of this network of streets. This aerial photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of Liverpool's people in the face of adversity. It serves as a powerful reminder of the past, while also showcasing the city's ability to rebuild and adapt. The image offers a unique perspective on Liverpool's urban history and the impact of the Second World War on its built environment.
