EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of an air raid by the German Luftwaffe on Orford Place, Norwich, Norfolk during World War Two. Taken on the evening of April 27th, 1942, it serves as a haunting reminder of the destructive power unleashed upon innocent civilians during this dark period in history. The scene depicted showcases the sheer destruction inflicted upon the once bustling shopping center buildings. The remnants of what were once thriving commercial establishments now lay in ruins, their skeletal structures standing as a testament to the horrors of war. The image encapsulates both the physical damage caused by bombing raids and the emotional toll endured by those who called this city home. Horace Grant's skilled photography allows us to bear witness to this moment frozen in time. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where conflict and devastation were daily realities for countless individuals on the home front. As we reflect upon this photograph today, let us remember not only those who lost their lives or loved ones but also pay homage to resilience and strength exhibited by communities like Norwich during these trying times. May it serve as a solemn reminder that peace should never be taken for granted and that we must strive tirelessly towards its preservation.
