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 and Chelsea. The book
gives an unforgettable impression of familiar streets and districts
as they developed, and it offers an insight into the lives and
living conditions of the residents in the last years of Queen
Victoria's reign and 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 and most populous areas of
London. The Royal Borough has since been noted as a centre of arts,
commerce and fashion, as the scene of many historic occasions and
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. The charming collection of historic
photographs will add to the knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment
of anyone who takes an interest in this part of London.
