EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the Islington Toll Gate in London, circa 1864. The toll gate, which was a common sight in cities during this time period, served as a checkpoint where travelers had to pay a fee before continuing on their journey. In this engraving, we see Londoners going about their daily lives as they pass through the toll gate.
The removal of turnpike gates like the one depicted here was a significant event in London's history. Campaigning by local residents led to the abolition of these barriers, allowing for easier and more convenient travel throughout the city. This image serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years and how far transportation technology has come since the 19th century.
The Islington Toll Gate may no longer stand today, but its legacy lives on through images like this one. It provides us with a glimpse into what life was like for Londoners in the early days of urban development. As we look back at this piece of history, we can appreciate how far we have come while also reflecting on the importance of preserving our past for future generations to learn from and enjoy.
