EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting remnants of "The Ring" in Southwark, London during the destructive years of World War II. Originally known as the Surrey Chapel until its closure in 1881, this historic building took on a new purpose as a boxing arena from 1910 onwards. However, its fate was sealed when it fell victim to the devastating Blitz. Taken by Sydney W Newbery in March 1941 for the National Buildings Record, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the destruction caused by war. The once vibrant and bustling venue now stands in ruins, bearing witness to the relentless bombings that ravaged London during this dark period. "The Ring" symbolizes not only physical devastation but also represents the resilience and spirit of those who endured such hardships. It stands as a testament to how even cherished landmarks can be reduced to rubble amidst times of conflict. Through Newbery's lens, we are transported back in time and given an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War II. This photograph serves as both a historical record and an emotional connection to our past—a visual representation of strength amid chaos and hope amidst despair. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us remember those who lived through these tumultuous times and honor their enduring spirit.
