"Adcock: A Journey Through London's Past" Step back in time and explore the rich history of London through the lens of Adcock. From the grandeur of Marylebone Town Hall, one of the most eminent new buildings in 1935, to the charm of an old pub on the River Thames in 1926-1927, Adcock captures moments frozen in time. On a wet winter evening in Bloomsbury, c1935, a book lover finds solace amidst the rain-soaked streets. The Grenadier in Wilton Mews stands as a testament to bygone days when coachmen would gather for their drinks. Barrels of molasses at West India Docks tell tales of trade and commerce that once thrived along these shores. Capturing breathtaking views from above, Adcock presents us with a mesmerizing view of London from 1926-1927. The Mitre tavern invites us into its cozy embrace while a greengrocer on Commercial Road reminds us of simpler times. The Elephant and Castle looms large as a symbol of bustling city life during this era. In Bishops Park, Fulham, we discover children playing joyfully in a sand pit - innocence preserved forever through Adcock's lens. But it is not just scenes from everyday life that captivate our attention; religious imagery also takes center stage. "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" asks GH Adcock's haunting creation from the 1830s - inviting contemplation and reflection upon deeper spiritual matters. Finally, night rain transforms pavements into pools reflecting shimmering lights - Calkin's masterpiece transports us to c1935 where beauty can be found even amidst gloomy weather. Join us on this journey through time as we uncover hidden stories within each photograph captured by Adcock. Experience London like never before and let your imagination wander through its vibrant past.
