EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the haunting aftermath of World War II in London. The image showcases the devastating bomb damage inflicted upon Geraldine House, a prominent building located on Fetter Lane, just off Fleet Street in EC1. Standing tall like a wedding cake with its descending tiers, Geraldine House was home to two renowned newspapers, The Daily Mirror and Sunday Pictorial, from 1920 until 1961. The photograph captures the resilience of this iconic structure amidst destruction. Its facade bears scars and crumbled walls as a testament to the horrors of war that ravaged the city during that time. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even institutions dedicated to journalism and media were not spared from the chaos. Intriguingly, after being housed in Geraldine House for over four decades, The Daily Mirror newspaper relocated further up Fetter Lane at Holborn Circus until 1990 when it eventually moved to the Isle of Dogs. Taken on July 19th, 1944, this snapshot freezes a moment in history where Londoners faced immense challenges but remained steadfast in their determination to rebuild and move forward. This picture is not only an architectural documentation but also an evocative symbol representing resilience and hope amidst adversity.
