EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Church Street, Kensington in 1904, showcasing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the charm and character of this historic street, with its elegant buildings lining both sides. It transports us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on these cobbled streets. Intriguingly, juxtaposed against this snapshot of the past is Cromwell Road, depicted as the proposed new gateway to the west of England. This photograph hints at the anticipation and excitement surrounding this grand project that aimed to connect London with the rest of England's western regions. The architectural details are striking; they reflect both old-world charm and modernity. The composition invites viewers to ponder over how cities evolve over time – how old structures make way for new ones while still preserving their unique identity. This image is part of a private collection by an English photographer from the 20th century. It serves as an illustration for Harold Clunn's book "London Rebuilt 1897-1927" which explores London's transformation during that period through a combination of photographs from late 19th and early 20th centuries. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness history unfolding before our eyes – a testament to change, development, and architectural progress that has shaped one of the world's most iconic cities: London.
