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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the premises of F & T Ross, Ironmongers of Myton Street in Hull, Yorkshire. Taken just after the war on January 30th, 1947, it provides a glimpse into the aftermath of the devastating Hull Blitz during World War II. The bombing campaign by the German Luftwaffe targeted this English port city and resulted in immense loss and destruction. The image showcases an empty entrance to what was once a bustling iron mongers shop. Its art deco architecture stands as a testament to a bygone era. The deserted surroundings serve as a stark reminder of the lives lost and shattered during those dark days. The Hull Blitz saw large-scale attacks throughout March 1941, with over 200 deaths recorded. However, it was on May 7th/8th and May 8th/9th that the most concentrated bombings occurred, claiming nearly 400 lives. Another significant attack took place in July 1941 with an additional 143 fatalities. As we reflect upon this photograph, let us remember those who endured unimaginable hardships during this period of history. It serves as both a somber tribute to their resilience and a reminder of the importance of peace for future generations.
