Britain from Above website

1928 aerial picture of North End Rd. - click for page

The Britain from Above website has a tremendous collection of 'Aerofilms', with photographs from 1919 to 1953, some of which are superb aerial images of West Kensington. The screen capture above, shows a 1928 shot of the area and the old route that North End Road followed (part of which is now North End Crescent), before being altered after 1945.

 The Lytton Estate was yet to be built and the former home of pre-Raphaelite artist, Edward Burne-Jones, The Grange (now the site of Samuel Richardson House) and his garden studio, were still standing (both circled).

 There are many more images of the area to view, Olympia Exhibition Centre features a lot. Also, the site has a great zoom-able map/search facility, to enable uses to locate pictures of interest, plus the photos are magnifiable, so you can study the images in close up (works in Chrome).
