EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of St Michaels Chapel, Hay Lane, Coventry. Frozen in a moment from 1940, it serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war. The historic church stands tall amidst the aftermath of the Blitz that ravaged Coventry on November 14th. Once a place of worship and solace for its community, this cherished chapel was tragically converted into a static water tank following the relentless bombings.

This evocative photograph transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and resilience—an indelible mark etched into Coventry's history—and serves as a powerful reminder never
