EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history during the height of World War II. Taken on October 15th, 1940, it portrays a couple seeking refuge in an air raid shelter located at 11 Cardigan Avenue in Leeds, UK. The image showcases the interior of the shelter adorned with decorations and pictures that bring a touch of normalcy to their otherwise uncertain surroundings. The stoic expressions on their faces reveal their resilience and defiance against the horrors unfolding outside. Despite the imminent danger, they find solace in reading magazines while seated at a small table illuminated by a heater nearby. A vase of flowers adds a delicate touch amidst the harshness of wartime conditions. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of fortitude exhibited by ordinary people during this tumultuous period. It symbolizes not only their determination to carry on with life despite constant threats but also serves as a testament to human strength and adaptability. Preserved through time, this image is now part of Leeds Library and Information Service's collection, reminding us all of our shared history and inspiring generations to come.
