1959 Demolition Hamilton Shortly Started
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of transformation at No. 4 Hamilton Place, London, as demolition began on October 9, 1959. The tranquil garden, once a serene oasis in the heart of the city, now lies in ruins, overshadowed by the looming presence of an aeroplane taking off from Heathrow Airport in the distance. The garden, a cherished part of the community, had stood for decades, providing a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors alike. But progress cannot be halted, and the arrival of the jet age signaled the end of an era. The planes, a symbol of modernity and transportation, cast long shadows over the once idyllic scene, heralding the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Hamilton Place. The garden, now a memory, would be replaced by modern structures, adapting to the changing times. This photograph, taken shortly after the demolition began, serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of the past and the inexorable march of progress.
