The Blitz Strikes - The Devastation of Britannia Hotel, Bridlington
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting print captures the aftermath of a catastrophic event that unfolded during the dark days of World War Two. In June 1941, as war raged on, Bridlington in Yorkshire became a target for German bombs. The Britannia Hotel, once an elegant establishment frequented by guests seeking respite from daily life, now lay in ruins. The image depicts the bar and billiard room of the hotel reduced to rubble by a merciless bomb dropped from above. It serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power unleashed upon innocent civilians during air raids. Although uncertain when this photograph was taken exactly, historical records indicate that Bridlington suffered heavy bombardment on June 17th and 18th. As we gaze at these remnants of destruction, our hearts ache for those who lost their lives or livelihoods in this devastating attack. The shattered walls and scattered debris bear witness to the horrors faced by ordinary people caught up in global conflict. Let us remember this moment not only as a testament to human resilience but also as a solemn tribute to all those affected by war's indiscriminate wrath. May it serve as a stark reminder that peace should always be cherished and protected so that such scenes may never be repeated again.
