EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Views of Highgate" and dated 1875, offers a glimpse into the picturesque landscape of Highgate, a historic area located in north London. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, as we take in the charming views of this once-thriving community. At the heart of the scene lies the quaint Highgate Town, with its narrow streets and charming cottages. The architectural beauty of Highgate Church, a Grade I listed building, stands proudly in the background, its tall spire reaching towards the heavens. The church, which dates back to the 14th century, has been a focal point of the community for centuries and remains an integral part of Highgate's rich history. To the right of the image, we see The Old Forge, a historic building that once housed a blacksmith's workshop. The forge, with its large, open doors, would have been a bustling hub of activity, as blacksmiths worked to shape and mend metal tools and other items. Sir William Ashurst's house and Mansion House can also be seen in the print. Sir William Ashurst was a prominent figure in Highgate's history, serving as the High Sheriff of Middlesex in 1683. His elegant house, with its grand facade and sprawling gardens, would have been a sight to behold in the 17th century. The Mansion House, which can be seen to the left of the image, was built in the late 18th century and served as the home of the High Sheriff of Middlesex. Its impressive architecture and beautiful gardens made it a symbol of wealth and status in Highgate. This stunning print, with its intricate details and rich history, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the beauty of nature and community were cherished.
