German Map of Kingston upon Hull, published in 1941, showing the bombing targets for the World War II blitz.

Key areas are marked out in Red and Violet, with an index of 30 specific targets and 43 icons identifying installations from Autoreifenfabrik through to Fischmarkt, Gaswerk, Wasserwerk and Zementfabrik

The map extends from Risholme Carr in the north-east corner to Marfleet and King George Dock in the south-east, Pickering Park and Springhead Sidings in the south-west and Beal House and Southfield in the north-west

Hull was one of the principal targets for enemy bombers in World War II.

The then familiar anonymous 'town on the north east coast' suffered 86 major air raids: 85% of its housing was damaged or destroyed, as was half the city's shopping centre and 2 million square feet of factory space.

The dock areas, stretching seven miles from east to west along the River Humber, were also extensively damaged.

Colour giclée prints of this map are available
on 130gsm coated art paper,
size 25 x 34½" (63 x 88cm).
