Here at The Atkinson, we curate history, breathing life into the past through artefacts, exhibits, and stories. But sometimes, the most powerful stories lie hidden, waiting to be rediscovered. Recently, while delving deep into our photograph archives, we stumbled upon a remarkable collection – images from D-Day, unseen for decades.
These images are a powerful reminder that history isn’t confined to textbooks. It lives in the faded photographs tucked away in archives, waiting to be rediscovered. They challenge us to remember, to honour the bravery of those who fought for freedom, and to ensure their stories continue to inspire.
