Kensington and Chelsea Seen in an Unusually Quiet 2020
A short photographic record shaped by lockdown’s disruption to everyday public life in Kensington and Chelsea. Ian Hargreaves walks through a neighbourhood he knows as both a longtime resident and a retired police constable, documenting shuttered pubs, empty streets and the absence of the traffic and social activity that ordinarily define the area. The project also becomes a personal map of former police workplaces and memories from a 30-year career. Among those recollections is the 1983 Harrods bombing and the loss of three colleagues, placing the altered streetscape alongside a longer local history. At 34 pages, the book presents an intimate, place-based snapshot of a particular moment in 2020.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Street-photography readers interested in lockdown-era urban scenes
- Readers interested in Kensington and Chelsea’s local character and history
- Those drawn to personal documentary projects connected to police service
