EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the elegant and intricate design of Kinnear Shutters installed at Harvey Nichols & Co, located in the prestigious Knightsbridge area of London. The Kinnear patent steel rolling shutters, a testament to the advanced engineering of the time, were primarily used for fire protection in various buildings, including this renowned department store. The shutters, manufactured by Kinnear and Gibson, were a popular choice for premises seeking both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The sleek, rolling design allowed for easy operation and discreet integration into the building's architecture. The shutters' steel construction ensured durability and strength, making them an effective fire safety measure. Harvey Nichols & Co, a prominent name in London's retail scene, was one of many prestigious establishments that trusted Kinnear Shutters for their fire protection needs. The shutters could be found in numerous other buildings throughout the city and beyond, making them a ubiquitous presence in the urban landscape of the 1930s. The interior of the department store, filled with an array of clothes and clothing, is partially visible in the background, providing a glimpse into the bustling retail environment of the era. The shutters, with their polished metal finish and precise engineering, stand out in stark contrast to the soft textures and colors of the clothing displays, creating a striking juxtaposition. This photograph is an intriguing snapshot of London's industrial past, showcasing the harmonious blend of design, innovation, and functionality that defined the city's built environment during the 1930s.
