MASTER MARINERS ALMSHOUSE, CARR LANE, CITY OF KINGSTON UPON HULL. An exterior view of the Master Mariners Almshouses, damaged in an air raid in 1941, seen from the east with the former Cecil Theatre in the background. The almshouses consisted of two blocks; the first was the Master Mariners Almshouse, built in 1834, and the second was the Mariners Almshouse, built in 1837. Both blocks were built for the Corporation of the Trinity House and housed retired and ill seamen and their families. The almshouses were damaged in 1941 by bombs, and were demolished post-war. The Theatre in the background was originally built in 1911, on the corner of Anlaby Road and the Ferensway, rebuilt in 1925 and renamed the Cecil Theatre. It also suffered bomb damage in May 1941, but the ruins were not cleared away until 1953.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant history of the Master Mariners Almshouses in Kingston upon Hull. Standing proudly, yet damaged, after an air raid in 1941, the almshouses are seen from the east with the former Cecil Theatre looming in the background. These almshouses were a vital sanctuary for retired and ill seamen and their families, consisting of two blocks: the Master Mariners Almshouse built in 1834 and the Mariners Almshouse constructed in 1837. Tragically, both blocks fell victim to bomb damage during World War II and were ultimately demolished post-war. The image serves as a reminder of their once grand existence and their significant role within maritime communities. The Theatre itself has its own tale to tell. Originally erected in 1911 on Anlaby Road and Ferensway corner, it was rebuilt in 1925 under a new name - Cecil Theatre. However, even this cultural landmark did not escape devastation during May 1941 when bombs ravaged its structure. It took until 1953 for these ruins to be cleared away completely. George Bernard Wood's skillful photography immortalizes this historical moment where remnants of resilience stand side by side with destruction caused by war. This image is a testament to our collective past – one that reminds us of both human strength amidst adversity and our duty to preserve such heritage for future generations.
