EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1939 in Newcastle's Two Ball Lonnen area. The image captures a crowd of enthusiastic youngsters eagerly observing the delivery of the first consignment of ARP air raid shelters. It is a poignant reminder of the turbulent times during World War II and highlights the resilience and determination displayed by communities on the home front. The scene depicts a large group of people gathered together, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. These young minds are witnessing history unfold before their eyes as these life-saving structures arrive to protect them from potential air raids. The construction process symbolizes both hope for safety and preparation for an uncertain future. As war loomed over Britain, air raid precautions became paramount in safeguarding civilians against enemy attacks. This photograph serves as a testament to the collective effort put forth by individuals and authorities alike to ensure public safety during those challenging years. Preserved through time, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into an era defined by sacrifice, unity, and bravery. It stands as a tribute to all those who endured hardships on the home front while displaying unwavering strength in face of adversity.
