Hampstead, Heath From Parliament Hill 1898
Photo ref:
41600
More about this scene
The Heath, extending from Kenwood House in the north to an area around Parliament Hill in the south, occupies some 800 acres; it has been popular with artists and authors (and the Gordon Rioters) since the 18th century. The photograph contrasts fenced and hedged sheep pastures with visual echoes of heathland. The spired church of St Anne Brookfield, 1853, by George Plunkett, is clearly seen silhouetted against the sky, with St Joseph's, more familiarly known as 'Holy Joe's', to its right. The view has altered dramatically in one hundred years - a mass of buildings has sprung up on the facing hill slope, and the Heath has become literally a wooded park with lakes.
