A bomb disposal unit pictured with an unexploded bomb that has been found in Craven Street, Hull.
Please note the L5578710 on the truck and it is possible this unit was The East Riding (Fortress) Royal Engineers, but this is not confirmed.
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.
The city spent more than 1, 000 hours under alert during raids from 19 June 1940 to 1945, with almost 1, 200 people in the city killed as a result of the bombing.
***note to editors....In 2020 Craven Street has been named Craven Street North and Craven Street South.
