EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War Two. The image showcases the aftermath of an air raid on St Michaels Church in Newcastle, which occurred in April 1941. The devastating bombing caused extensive damage to the church, leaving it in ruins and shrouded in destruction. However, amidst this scene of chaos and devastation, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience that emerges. Miraculously, the altar within St Michaels Church managed to survive the fierce blaze that engulfed its surroundings. This remarkable sight serves as a powerful symbol of faith and endurance during one of humanity's darkest periods. The black-and-white composition transports us back to the forties, evoking a sense of nostalgia for those who lived through this harrowing time or have heard stories passed down by their ancestors. It reminds us not only of the physical toll war takes on communities but also highlights how places of worship can become beacons of strength and solace during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this poignant photograph, we are reminded once again about the indomitable spirit displayed by individuals and communities alike throughout history's most challenging moments. It stands as a testament to our ability to rebuild, heal wounds, and find hope even amidst seemingly insurmountable odds - lessons that remain relevant today more than ever before.
