Housewife Mrs Berbiest gathers her belongings from the remains of her home at Mornington Road Junction in Leytonstone, London after a devastating V2 rocket attack during World War II in 1945. This poignant photograph captures the aftermath of destruction and showcases the resilience and strength of survivors amidst the chaos and devastation caused by war. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the heartbreaking struggle faced by countless families who lost their homes to military strikes. Mrs Berbiest, determined and undeterred, salvages what she can from the ruins of her once cherished abode. The remnants of her life lay scattered around her – fragments that represent memories now shattered but not forgotten.

It symbolizes both individual loss and collective resilience as communities across London rebuilt their lives amidst adversity.
