EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the devastating Blitz raid on Surrey Docks in Rotherhithe, SE London, during World War II. The remains of a warehouse, reduced to smoldering ruins, stand as a testament to the extensive damage inflicted on the dock complex during the air raids of September 1940. The night of 7 September saw the area come under heavy bombing, with over 1000 pumps being deployed to surround and fight the resulting conflagrations. The vast stocks of timber cargoes, warehousing, and shipping were set ablaze, creating a dangerous and destructive scene. The London Fire Brigade and firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the fires and prevent further damage to the surrounding area. This image offers a poignant glimpse into the wartime front lines, with the brave firefighters standing defiantly against the backdrop of destruction. The image is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the people of London during the darkest days of the Blitz.
