This remarkable photograph showcases the immense scale of the Grand Slam bomb, one of the most powerful weapons used during World War II. Captured on January 7, 1945, at the Elswick Works factory in Newcastle, England, the image reveals rows of freshly manufactured Grand Slam bombs, lined up and ready for deployment.

Weighing a staggering 22,000 pounds (10,000 kilograms), these bombs were designed to penetrate deep into heavily fortified structures, delivering devastating destruction. Their creation represented a major breakthrough in aerial warfare, highlighting the extraordinary engineering and industrial capabilities of the era.

Preserved by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, this rare photograph offers a glimpse into the immense wartime production efforts that contributed to the Allied victory. It stands as a powerful testament to both the technological advancements and the sacrifices made during one of the most critical periods in history.
