Copenhagen House, (c1872). Creator: Unknown
Copenhagen House, (c1872). Copenhagen Fields in Islington was an open area on the hill between Maiden Lane and Holloway popular for mass meetings. The house may have got its name through its use as a hostelry for Danish visitors when the King of Denmark came to the court of King James I in 1606. In the 18th century the grounds were used as a tea-garden, for skittles, dog-fighting and bear-baiting. In the 19th century it was the site of cricket matches and athletics. The Copenhagen House running grounds, also known as the Old Cope, became the main track in London from 1850-1853 after legislation was introduced to ban professional running from the roads. On 26 July 1852, Charles Westhall ran the mile there in 4:28.0, the first sub-four-thirty mile on a track. From Old and New London, Vol. II: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places, by Walter Thornbury. [Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. London, Paris & New York]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Copenhagen House, a historic landmark in Islington, London. Dating back to around 1872, this architectural gem has a fascinating history that spans centuries. Originally named after its use as a hostelry for Danish visitors during King James I's reign in 1606, Copenhagen House later became an integral part of the vibrant community at Copenhagen Fields. In the 18th century, these grounds transformed into a popular destination for various recreational activities such as tea-gardens, skittles, dog-fighting, and bear-baiting. As time went on, it evolved into a hub for sports enthusiasts with cricket matches and athletics taking place there in the 19th century. The running grounds at Copenhagen House gained immense popularity from 1850-1853 when professional running was banned on roads by legislation. It became London's premier track during this period. Notably, on July 26th, 1852, Charles Westhall achieved an impressive feat by completing the mile run in just under four minutes and thirty seconds - marking it as the first sub-four-thirty mile ever recorded on a track. This image transports us back to a bygone era where countryside charm met bustling city life. The photograph is part of "Old and New London" written by Walter Thornbury and published by Cassell & Co. , capturing not only architecture but also offering glimpses into professions and occupations of that time. A true testament to British heritage and culture!
