EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Boundary Estate: Arnold Circus in London, 1903. Taken by an English photographer during the 20th century, it showcases a remarkable aerial view of this urban council estate located in Tower Hamlets. The circular layout of the estate is evident from above, with rows of houses and tenements neatly arranged around Arnold Circus. The raised flowerbeds add a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic scene, while benches line the exterior facades, providing spaces for residents to gather and socialize. Built as part of a larger urban planning initiative in Edwardian England, Boundary Estate stands as an architectural testament to society's efforts towards providing social housing for its citizens. This Victorian-era development was one of Britain's first council housing projects aimed at improving living conditions for those residing in London's East End. The photograph offers a glimpse into life within this suburban community over a century ago. It depicts terraced houses lining the streets, capturing an authentic street scene that reflects both the era's architecture and daily life. Preserved by Bridgeman Images and now available through Fine Art Finder, this print serves as a historical document showcasing not only London's past but also highlighting how public services like housing have evolved throughout English history.
