EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the transformation of The old High Street, Kensington, after its widening in 1902. A present-day view of Kensington High Street is juxtaposed with the historical image, showcasing the remarkable changes that have taken place over time. The photograph, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century and part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into London's architectural development. It forms part of Harold Clunn's book "London Rebuilt 1897-1927" which features a compilation of late 19th and early 20th-century photographs. In this image, we witness the evolution of Kensington High Street - once narrow and bustling with horse-drawn carriages - now transformed into a wider thoroughfare to accommodate modern transportation. The contrast between old and new is striking; it serves as a visual testament to London's ever-changing landscape. As we delve into this historic snapshot, we are transported back in time while simultaneously appreciating how far our city has come. This photograph encapsulates not only the physical changes but also represents progress and growth within society itself. Through this lens, we can reflect on the significance of urban planning and architecture in shaping our cities' identities throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst change, traces of our past remain embedded within our present-day views.
