EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kingston Upon Hull works of Reckitt and Colman Ltd in Dansom Lane, Hull - a haunting reminder of the devastating impact of war. This powerful print captures the aftermath of an air raid that took place in the early hours of 18th July 1941 during World War II. The German Luftwaffe unleashed a new type of oil bomb, causing widespread destruction to this once thriving industrial site. The image depicts a scene filled with both despair and resilience. The buildings, once bustling with activity and productivity, now stand as mere skeletons amidst the rubble. It is a stark testament to the immense sacrifices made on the home front during those tumultuous times. Reckitt and Colman Ltd. , renowned for their household products, had become synonymous with British industry before being tragically targeted by enemy forces. Their works symbolized not only economic prosperity but also represented hope for a brighter future. This photograph from Memory Lane Prints serves as an important historical artifact, reminding us of the horrors endured during World War II while honoring those who faced adversity head-on. It stands as a tribute to all businesses affected by conflict and highlights our collective determination to rebuild and forge ahead. Let us remember this poignant moment in history as we reflect upon the strength exhibited by communities like Hull in overcoming unimaginable challenges.
