EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pushing a Monkey Boat Through The Lock at Brentford, c1935" takes us back to the bustling waterways of London in the 1930s. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing a moment in time is undeniable. The scene depicts narrow boats navigating through the lock at Brentford, a vital transportation hub in west London during that era. These sturdy vessels were used to transport cargo across the country via the extensive canal network. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it becomes evident how integral these boats were to Britain's industrial landscape. The grand Union Canal stretches out before us, its calm waters reflecting the monochrome beauty of this photograph. In the distance lies Hounslow and beyond that, London itself - a cityscape teeming with life and opportunity. Arthur St John Adcock edited this image as part of his compilation "Wonderful London, Volume 2". Published by Fleetway House in 1935, Adcock sought to showcase the geographical features and landmarks that made London truly extraordinary. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It reminds us of an era when water transport played an essential role in shaping our nation's economy and connecting communities across England.
