EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "An ARP shelter in a haystack" takes us back to the 23rd of October 1939 during the tumultuous era of World War II. The image showcases an ingenious disguise for an air raid precaution (ARP) shelter cleverly concealed within a haystack. As conflict loomed overhead, civilians on the home front were constantly seeking refuge from devastating air raids. In their resourcefulness, they devised various methods to protect themselves while evading detection by enemy aircraft. This particular photograph captures one such innovative solution. The hay stack stands tall and inconspicuous against the backdrop of a war-torn landscape, its golden hues contrasting with the somber atmosphere surrounding it. Peering closer, we can discern a small entrance cleverly hidden within its folds - an entryway into safety amidst chaos. This image not only serves as a testament to human resilience but also highlights the ingenuity that emerged during times of adversity. It reminds us of how ordinary people found extraordinary ways to protect themselves and their loved ones from harm's way. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints and originally captured by Daily Mirror, this snapshot transports us back in time to witness firsthand the creativity employed during WWII's darkest hours. As we reflect upon this historical artifact, let it serve as a reminder that even in moments of despair, hope and innovation can flourish against all odds
