EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the aftermath of a devastating bombing raid during World War II on No 1 Dixas Field in Exeter, Devon. Taken by the talented architect and architectural historian Margaret Tomlinson, this silver gelatin glass plate negative showcases the resilience of this elegant Regency-style building amidst destruction. No 1 Dixas Field stood as a symbol of beauty and grandeur before it fell victim to the Baedeker bombing raid in 1942. However, through this photograph, we witness its transformation into a haunting reminder of war's destructive power. The National Buildings Record recognized the importance of documenting such historical moments, and Tomlinson's work for them was invaluable. As an architect based in Devon, Tomlinson had firsthand access to record threatened buildings like No 1 Dixas Field in both Exeter and Plymouth. Her photographs not only served as documentation but also contributed to her role as an investigator for the NBR after joining them in 1943. Beyond her wartime contributions, Margaret Tomlinson played a significant role in post-war efforts. She actively participated in reviving the Victoria History of the Counties of England project and worked as a listing investigator with the Ministry of Town and Country Planning. Through Historic England's archive collection, we are fortunate enough to glimpse into history through Margaret Tomlinson's lens. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder not only of war's devastation but also highlights our ability to rebuild and preserve our heritage even amidst chaos.
