This fascinating selection of historic photographs documents the dramatic transformation that has taken place over the last 150 years in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. The book gives an unforgettable impression of familiar streets & districts as they developed, & it offers an insight into the lives & living conditions of the residents in the last years of Queen Victoria`s reign & in the early years of the twentieth century. The pictures tell the story of how a cluster of nineteenth-century villages became one of the best-known & most populous areas of London. The Royal Borough has since been noted as a centre of arts, commerce & fashion, as the scene of many historic occasions & as the home of famous personalities from public life. But the book also preserves the memory of ordinary people
- passengers crowded into a horse-drawn bus, road sweepers standing with their brooms, a schoolgirl crossing the street carrying a violin case, a baker`s boy pulling a handcart. This charming collection of historic photographs will add to the knowledge, appreciation & enjoyment of anyone who takes an interest in this part of London.
