EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, we see two dummy houses nestled in the heart of Bayswater, London, at numbers 23 and 25 Leinster Gardens. These unassuming structures were built in the 1950s to conceal a significant gap in the terrace caused by the construction of the Inner Circle Line tube. The Inner Circle Line, a part of London's Underground network, was an engineering marvel that expanded the city's transportation system. However, its construction came at a cost, as it necessitated the excavation of a section of the terrace, leaving a noticeable gap. To maintain the continuity of the streetscape and preserve the aesthetic appeal of the terrace, two dummy houses were meticulously constructed. These dummy houses were built to replicate the architectural style of the existing terrace houses, with their red brick facades, pitched roofs, and ornate details. The interiors, however, were left unfinished, as they were never intended for residential use. Instead, they served a purely decorative purpose, designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding buildings and conceal the unsightly gap. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating these dummy houses. The lush greenery in the foreground adds a touch of serenity to the scene, contrasting the bustling city life that lies just beyond the frame. This photograph is a testament to the lengths that were taken to preserve the integrity of London's architectural heritage, even in the face of urban development. It serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden beneath the surface of our cities, waiting to be discovered.
