EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the new "Tattersall's" at Knightsbridge-Green in 1864. The architectural masterpiece, designed by Mr. Charles Freeman and built by Messrs. Holland and Hannen, exudes elegance and sophistication.
The central gateway with intricately carved pediments, flanked by two side entrances, welcomes visitors into a world of luxury and opulence. The yellow brick wings adorned with Portland stone dressings house various facilities such as subscriber areas, secretary's offices, business departments, and harness-rooms.
One can imagine the hustle and bustle of activity within the premises - from open-air betting to telegraph services for race enthusiasts. The massive roof made of Hartley's patent glass covers the entire yard, providing shelter while allowing controlled ventilation.
The stables at the rear offer accommodation for ninety-eight stalls and twenty loose boxes, catering to prized racehorses in utmost comfort. A wide roadway leads to more facilities including additional loose boxes for entire horses and mares with their foals.
This historical photograph not only showcases the architectural brilliance of Tattersall's but also offers a glimpse into the vibrant horse racing culture that thrived in London during that era. It is truly a timeless piece capturing an iconic landmark in British history.
