Teaching the girls to knit in Belfast during the 1940s, while their babies rested on the top bunk above them. This striking wartime photograph captures a powerful moment of everyday life during the Belfast Blitz, as women and young mothers gathered together in a crowded air-raid shelter.

Even in the middle of war, the scene reflects resilience, care and community spirit, with knitting, conversation and support helping people through the hardship.
