The Bombardment of Hull (Stories from the Strongrooms)

Welcome to the last of our Stories from the Strongrooms developed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Hull Blitz in May 1941.

This presentation focuses on the damage inflicted across the City by the relentless bombing across the two nights of The Hull Blitz. The photographs were taken by personnel from the Hull City Engineer’s Department in the days following the raids and capture some of the most poignant images of the conflict.

Our webpage on The Second World War includes a useful source guide to help you find books and documents relating to the conflict which can be found at: http://www.hullhistorycentre.org.uk/r...

The History Centre holds a vast collection of records relating to The Second World War, including records relating to the Civil Defence in Hull, damage to property, and photographs of the aftermath of the 86 raids which reveal the true devastation of the City after the conflict.
