The Hull Blitz was the bombing campaign that targeted the English port city of Kingston upon Hull by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War.
Large-scale attacks took place on several nights throughout March 1941, resulting in over 200 deaths. The most concentrated attacks were on the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May 1941, resulting in just under 400 deaths, and another large-scale attack took place in July 1941 with 143 fatalities.
The city spent more than 1, 000 hours under alert during raids from 19 June 1940 to 1945, with almost 1, 200 people in the city killed as a result of the bombing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the haunting remains of The Electricity Showroom in Bridlington, Yorkshire. Taken around April 3rd, 1941, during the tumultuous period of The Blitz, it serves as a somber reminder of the devastating impact of war on civilian infrastructure. The actual location may be New Burlington Road in Bridlington, which was bombed just a day prior to this image being captured. Hull and Bridlington bore the brunt of relentless bombardment by the German Luftwaffe during Spring and Summer 1941. This frame from Mirrorpix provides a glimpse into the aftermath of one such attack. The Hull Blitz specifically targeted Kingston upon Hull, resulting in over 200 deaths throughout March 1941 alone. However, it was on May 7th-8th and May 8th-9th that large-scale attacks claimed nearly 400 lives. Another significant assault occurred in July with an additional loss of life amounting to 143 fatalities. During this dark chapter in history, Hull endured more than a thousand hours under alert from June 19th, 1940 until the end of World War II in 1945. Tragically, almost twelve hundred people lost their lives due to bombing raids within the city. As we gaze at this photograph frozen in time, let us remember those who perished and pay tribute to their resilience amidst unimaginable adversity.
