EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of an incendiary bombing raid during the Blitz in London, specifically in Tyler Street, near Trafalgar Road, East Greenwich, on 7 September 1940. The image shows the devastating damage inflicted upon a local hosiery draper's shop, with its charred remains and debris scattered across the street. Firefighters from the London Fire Brigade are seen in the foreground, diligently working to extinguish the flames and prevent further damage. The smoke-filled sky and the anxious faces of onlookers, including boys and pedestrians, add to the sense of urgency and chaos that characterized the Blitz. The presence of bicycles in the scene suggests that people were trying to make their way through the city despite the danger. This powerful photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the wartime experiences of Londoners during the Second World War.
