EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere and Co. on May 31, 1884, captures the aftermath of a devastating bombing attack on The Rising Sun pub in Great Scotland Yard, London. The Fenians, a 19th century Irish Nationalist group, were responsible for the bombing campaign that targeted British institutions between 1883 and 1885. The image reveals the extensive damage caused by the explosion. The pub's windows are blown out, leaving the interior exposed to the elements. A damaged carriage lies in a pile of rubble, adding to the chaos and destruction. The staff, dressed in Victorian attire, are seen standing nearby, surveying the damage and assessing the situation. The Rising Sun, a popular public house, was a well-known establishment in the area, and its destruction would have had a profound impact on the local community. The bombing campaign was a pivotal moment in Irish and British history, as tensions between the two nations reached a boiling point. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, and the ongoing struggle for Irish independence. The photograph is part of the extensive collection held by Historic England Archive, which documents the rich history of England's built environment. It provides a unique insight into the past, allowing us to reflect on the events that shaped our history and the world we live in today.
