Hampstead, High Street 1898

More about this scene
The camera looks from the High Street towards Holly Hill, and on towards West Heath. The simple but somehow graceful shop fronts have gone, although the buildings remain, including the Old Fire Station of 1873, with its prominent tower. It is regrettable that its original use has been supplanted by offices on the ground floor and flats to the upper floor, and that the upper part of the tower above the clock has been removed. One day, perhaps with the help of a small grant, this may be properly rebuilt, but the passing of the wonderful street furniture is almost certainly forever.
