Picture shows the premises of iron mongers F & T Ross, Ironmongers, Hull, Yorkshire.
It is not clear what street this picture is taken on, but another picture in this set shows F&T Ross Ironmongers at Myton Street. Similar small building to the side but not the main building. The shape of the street suggests this is the same building, and that in this frame (1946), the building stands. In the other frame, (1947) the building has been demolished.
Picture taken just after the war.
The Hull Blitz was the bombing campaign that targeted the English port city of Kingston upon Hull by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War.
Large-scale attacks took place on several nights throughout March 1941, resulting in over 200 deaths. The most concentrated attacks were on the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May 1941, resulting in just under 400 deaths, and another large-scale attack took place in July 1941 with 143 fatalities.
