The Plough at Kensal Green, 1830
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the rural landscape of 19th century London. The image showcases the charming exterior of The Plough, a historic pub nestled in the heart of Kensal Green. With its Georgian architecture and prominent chimney stacks, this building stands as a testament to the region's rich history. Intriguingly, this photograph captures not only the architectural beauty but also provides insights into daily life during that era. A group of men can be seen resting outside the pub, taking respite from their agricultural endeavors. One man sits atop a haycart while others find solace on rustic wooden benches. The significance of this scene lies in understanding how agriculture shaped Kensal Green's development. As mentioned in Edward Walford's book "Old and New London" two dairy farms thrived here by the early 1800s. However, it was after the passing of an Act of Parliament in 1864 that prohibited cattle-keeping within London city limits when these farms truly flourished. This print serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into both urban expansion and rural life coexisting harmoniously. It reminds us of how landscapes evolve over time due to changing legislation and societal needs. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect upon our connection with nature and how it shapes our surroundings even today.
