EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Babies Care building, situated on Kennington Road in Lambeth, London in 1950. The grand Georgian detached house stands proudly set back from the road, exuding an air of elegance and charm. The image showcases a significant piece of history from the mid-20th century, specifically the 1950s. It serves as a reminder of the era's architectural style and design sensibilities. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to this snapshot. Formerly serving as a child welfare centre, this building was under the jurisdiction of both the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC). Its purpose was to provide care for infants during that period. The entrance gate with its sturdy gate pier draws attention to itself while adding an element of security and privacy to this cherished establishment. The railings lining the street further contribute to its overall aesthetic appeal. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an unknown moment frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate not only the architecture but also reflects upon Lambeth's rich history. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we are transported back to a different era when nurturing young lives took place within these walls. This print is undoubtedly a valuable piece of heritage that continues to captivate viewers today without any commercial intent or use mentioned or implied.
