EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the devastating air raid on the Surrey Commercial Docks in Rotherhithe, SE London, on 7 September 1940. Known as the start of the Blitz on London, this raid marked the beginning of relentless bombing campaigns on major UK cities during World War II. The image portrays a smoky and hazy atmosphere, with thick plumes of smoke rising from the ruins of the damaged warehouses. Firefighters from the London Fire Brigade are seen working tirelessly to extinguish the fires and prevent further damage. The cranes, once used for loading and unloading cargo, now stand still and silent, their structures weakened by the bombing. The River Thames, usually a bustling hub of maritime activity, is eerily calm and deserted. The date of this photograph is 1940, a time when the city was under constant threat from the air, and its people were united in their determination to rebuild and endure. This powerful image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and bravery of the Londoners during the war years.
