Westbourne Outfall, Kensington Gardens, London, Circa 1860: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1860, offers a glimpse into the history of Westbourne Outfall in Kensington Gardens, London. The image, which is now a precious historical document, showcases the serene and picturesque scene of the Westbourne River as it flows out of Kensington Gardens. The Westbourne River, a tributary that once flowed through the heart of London, was an essential water source for the city's residents. In the 19th century, the river was famous for its crystal-clear waters, which attracted many Londoners seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. In this photograph, we can see the Westbourne Outfall, the point where the river leaves Kensington Gardens and flows into the Serpentine Lake. The image captures the tranquility of the scene, with the gently flowing water cascading over the stone outfall, creating a soothing sound that would have been a welcome relief from the noise of the city. The lush greenery of the gardens can be seen in the background, with trees and shrubs providing a natural barrier between the river and the bustling streets of London. The image also reveals the intricate details of the outfall's design, with the intricately carved stonework and the elegant arches that once allowed the river to flow freely. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of Kensington Gardens and the importance of the Westbourne River in London's past. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. Today, the Westbourne Outfall remains an iconic landmark in Kensington Gardens, a testament to the beauty and history of London's past.
