EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mr W Kemp standing proudly next to the old Kennington Toll Gate. The toll gate, which was once a familiar sight at the northern end of Brixton Road in SW London, has been removed from its original position many years ago. Now residing in Herne Hill, this historic artifact is up for sale, but potential buyers should be aware that it weighs nearly a ton! Transporting us back to the 1930s, this image captures the essence of an era long gone. Mr W Kemp's presence adds a human touch to the scene, as he stands beside the imposing toll gate with an air of nostalgia and perhaps even pride. The toll gate itself exudes character and history. Its weathered appearance tells tales of countless travelers who passed through its arches over time. It serves as a reminder of how different life used to be when tolls were collected on roads. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported into a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages and bustling streets were part of everyday life. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own connection with history and how it shapes our present-day experiences.
