EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the devastating impact of the Blitz on Merchant Taylors Hall, a historic building in the heart of London dating back to the 14th century. The image, taken on September 18, 1940, during the height of World War II, shows the aftermath of a bombing raid, with the premises of the medieval livery company hit by a number of incendiary bombs. The fire, which rages fiercely, is being tackled by brave firefighters from the London Fire Brigade. Debris and rubble litter the streets, and the once grand architecture of the building is reduced to a mess of damage. The aerial view of the scene offers a stark contrast to the city's usual bustling activity, highlighting the chaos and destruction wrought by the war. The Merchant Taylors Hall, which has played an important role in London's history, was eventually reconstructed and reopened in 1959. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the 1940s, and the resilience of the city and its people in the face of adversity.
