Kensington Gardens - New Gates, Bayswater-Road, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Kensington Gardens - New Gates, Bayswater-Road, 1854. Park entrance in London. Gates giving...access to the pedestrian from the Bayswater-road, almost opposite the new portion called the Craven-hill-estate. These gates are quite plain - the piers are of white brick, with stone cornices, and the railing of the ordinary kind. The gates are, however, a great addition to the appearance as well as usefulness to the road, affording facility of egress to the Gardens, long wanted about that portion of Bayswater and the surrounding neighbourhood'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the mid-19th century, showcases the new gates of Kensington Gardens located on Bayswater-Road in London. The image, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1854, marks an essential addition to the park's entrance, providing pedestrians with much-needed access from the bustling Bayswater-road. The gates, designed with white brick piers and stone cornices, exude a sense of simplicity and elegance. The ordinary railing, while not ornate, complements the overall design and enhances the visual appeal of the gates. The print reveals the practicality of these gates, not only improving the look of the area but also providing a convenient way for the local community to enter the gardens. The new gates, situated almost opposite the Craven-hill-estate, were a welcome addition to the neighborhood, as they filled a long-standing need for a pedestrian entrance in that part of Bayswater. This photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the history of London's iconic Kensington Gardens and the evolution of its infrastructure. The print, preserved in the archives, continues to captivate viewers with its intriguing details and historical significance.
