EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Lambeth and Kennington area of London in April 1941, during the height of World War Two. The image showcases the devastating aftermath of yet another air raid on the city. The Old Tennants Hostel stands prominently on the left side, a solemn witness to the destruction surrounding it. The precise location is uncertain, with speculation pointing towards Newburn Street, although this remains unconfirmed. Regardless, what is evident is the sheer damage inflicted upon this part of London during that fateful period. Buildings lay in ruins, their facades crumbling under the weight of conflict. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era defined by fortitude and resilience - an era where ordinary citizens became heroes on their own home front. This image serves as a poignant reminder of those who endured unimaginable hardships during World War Two. The date associated with this picture is circa April 18th, 1941 - a day forever etched into history as one more chapter in London's relentless battle against enemy bombings. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we can glimpse into a past filled with both darkness and hope; a past that shaped not only Lambeth and Kennington but also countless lives caught up in the turmoil of war.
