EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1927, showcases the newly constructed A3 bypass junction at Kingston Hill and Robin Hood Gate in Richmond, Surrey. The A3 road, a significant artery connecting London to Portsmouth, underwent major upgrades during the 1920s to improve transportation infrastructure. In this image, we see the sleek, modern design of the junction, with its distinctive curved roads and clear signage. The intersection seamlessly integrates with the natural beauty of its surroundings, as evidenced by the lush greenery of Richmond Park in the background. The park, a National Nature Reserve and ancient royal deer hunting ground, has been a cherished part of the area since the 17th century. The photograph also reveals a glimpse into the past, with the vintage cars making their way through the junction. The cars, adorned with elegant designs and intricate details, add a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The drivers, likely on their way to or from the bustling city of London, would have marveled at the new infrastructure that made their journeys more efficient. This photograph, from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a fascinating reminder of the evolution of transportation in the 20th century and the harmonious coexistence of modern progress and natural beauty.
