Summary
Air Raid Shelter Under the Railway Arches, South East London, England, 1940
A female shelterer fills her kettle with water from one of several taps and sinks which are available for use by those staying in this shelter under the railway arches, somewhere in South East London. The water is used both for drinking and for washing crockery. This photograph was probably taken in November 1940. In the background, other shelterers can be seen underneath a sign clearly stating that smoking is not permitted in the shelter.
The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
