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.

Remembering Bridlington Grammar School - A Glimpse into the Devastation of The Blitz
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print captures the haunting aftermath of the destruction caused by The Blitz on Bridlington Grammar School, circa 16th November 1940. Passed by censors, it serves as a somber reminder of the relentless bombing campaign that targeted Kingston upon Hull during World War II. The Hull Blitz inflicted immense suffering upon this English port city, with large-scale attacks resulting in over 200 deaths throughout March 1941. However, it was the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May 1941 that witnessed concentrated bombings, claiming nearly 400 lives. Another devastating assault occurred in July that year, causing an additional 143 fatalities. Lasting for more than five years from June 1940 to 1945, these raids subjected Hull to over a thousand hours under alert. Tragically, almost twelve hundred people lost their lives due to this merciless bombardment. As we gaze at this image frozen in time, we are confronted with the ruins and rubble left behind by war's destructive power. Amidst the chaos lies a symbol of education shattered—a stark testament to how conflict disrupts not only lives but also our pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment. Let us honor those who perished and pay tribute to their resilience amidst adversity. This photograph stands as a powerful reminder of our collective duty to ensure such devastation is never repeated again.
