EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Serene Oasis in the Heart of Pimlico: Dolphin Square Gardens, North, 1956" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the tranquil beauty of Dolphin Square Gardens in Pimlico, London, as seen from the north in 1956. The image showcases a lush, green expanse of meticulously maintained gardens, dotted with mature trees, vibrant flowers, and a serene pond teeming with playful dolphins. The modernist apartment buildings of Dolphin Square, designed by architects Powell and Moya, can be glimpsed in the background, their clean lines and geometric shapes providing a striking contrast to the natural splendor of the gardens. 3. Context: Dolphin Square, a large complex of flats and apartments, was built between 1935 and 1938, offering modern, affordable housing for Londoners. The gardens, which cover approximately 1.5 acres, were designed by Thomas Mawson and opened in 1937. They were intended to provide residents with a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life, offering a peaceful retreat where they could relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. 4. Significance: This photograph, taken in 1956, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the gardens in their prime. The image not only highlights the architectural and horticultural achievements of the time but also serves as a reminder of the importance of green spaces in urban environments. The presence of the dolphins in the pond adds a touch of whimsy and delight, making this photograph a cherished reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring appeal of nature in the heart of the city. 5. Keywords: Dolphin, square, gardens, north, flats, apartments, housing, pimlico, london, garden, 1956, 1950s, 50s, fifties.
