EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a horse-drawn rag and bone cart standing on the road outside the Builders Arms public house at 1 Kensington Court Place, Kensington, London. The year is estimated to be between 1962 and 1964, a time when horse-drawn vehicles were gradually being replaced by motorized transport. The cart, filled with various discarded items, represents the daily work of a rag and bone man, who collected and sold scrap metal and other recyclable materials. The image offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of London during the mid-20th century. The cart, with its worn-out wheels and faded paint, contrasts sharply with the modern St. Albans Mansions visible in the background. The public house, with its inviting sign and welcoming lights, serves as a reminder of the community that once thrived in this area. The horse, harnessed and patiently waiting, adds to the sense of tranquility and routine. The scene is one of quiet simplicity, a moment frozen in time before the rapid pace of urban development began to change the face of Kensington. John Gay, the photographer, skillfully captures the essence of this moment, offering us a glimpse into a bygone era. The photograph is not only a record of a specific time and place, but also a reminder of the human connection to the natural world and the importance of community and daily labor.
