The Plough at Kensal Green: A Victorian Echo of an 1820s Inn and the Haunting Presence of George Morland This evocative image, captured in 1875, presents a view of The Plough Inn at Kensal Green, a historic public house in London that holds a rich artistic and historical past. The Plough, nestled in the picturesque area of Kensal Green, has been a beloved institution since the late 18th century. In the 1780s, it became a haunt for the renowned British painter, George Morland (1763-1804). Morland, known for his detailed and often rustic depictions of rural and urban scenes, was drawn to the area's charm and the inn's warm hospitality. The Plough Inn, with its red brick facade and inviting sign, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery, reflecting the idyllic setting that once inspired Morland and countless other artists. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lively conversations and creative exchanges that may have taken place within its walls. The Victorian era, in which this photograph was taken, saw a renewed interest in the history and culture of the past. This photograph, therefore, serves as a poignant reminder of the rich artistic heritage that The Plough Inn holds, and the enduring allure of the past. The image also highlights the transformation of the area from a rural idyll to a bustling urban neighbourhood, making it a fascinating snapshot of London's history.
