EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene from the streets of Kennington in 1830. The stagecoach at the Kennington turnpike is packed to capacity, with passengers spilling out of every window and door. The coachman stands proudly on his seat, waving to onlookers as the horses rear up in excitement.
The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of transport and travel during this era. The crowded stagecoach was a common sight on the roads, ferrying people between towns and cities before the age of cars and trains. The tolls collected at turnpikes like Kennington helped fund road maintenance and improvements, making travel safer and more efficient for all.
The intricate details captured in this photograph bring to life a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages ruled the streets. From the cobblestone roads to the period clothing worn by passengers, every element tells a story of days gone by.
Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate vintage photography, this print is sure to spark your imagination and transport you back in time. Add it to your collection today and marvel at the rich tapestry of our past that it represents.
