EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1882, showcases the picturesque scene of Bedford Park in Chiswick, London, a pioneering prototype for garden cities and suburbs. The image, looking west, depicts the School of Art and the Tabard Inn, two iconic structures that have stood the test of time. The community of Bedford Park was a groundbreaking development, designed to provide a healthier and more spacious living environment for Londoners. The architects, including Richard Norman Shaw, sought to create a sense of unity and harmony, with houses arranged around communal gardens and tree-lined streets. In this photograph, we see a horse-drawn carriage making its way along the cobblestone street, while carts and wagons are parked nearby. The School of Art, with its distinctive red-brick facade and tall chimneys, stands proudly at the center of the image. The Tabard Inn, a popular public house, can be seen to the left, with its inviting sign and Victorian-era decor. The serene atmosphere of Bedford Park is evident in this photograph, with the lush greenery of the gardens and the clear blue sky overhead. The community was a precursor to the garden cities and suburbs that would become a defining feature of urban planning in the 20th century. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and charm of Bedford Park in its early days.
