This powerful print captures the aftermath of a near miss from German bombs during World War Two in the Bexley area. The image showcases a house that has suffered considerable damage, surrounded by debris scattered across its surroundings. As Britain faced relentless air raids, this snapshot represents the devastating impact on housing and communities during the war. The monochrome tones enhance the somber atmosphere, emphasizing the destruction caused by enemy attacks. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience displayed by civilians on the home front during one of history's darkest periods.
