Layers of London is a fantastic resource and website run by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.ac.uk\/\">Institute of Historical Research<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/london.ac.uk\/\">University of London<\/a>. In brief, Layers of London allows you to pin photographs into a digital map of London, and add a short description.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anyone is able to log on and add photographs that they have taken themselves, and many museums, archives, and libraries have been adding their collection items too. Most importantly, anyone is able to just explore the map!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since lockdown in March 2020, over 28 Courtauld volunteers have been extremely busy sharing photographs from the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/category\/the-conway-library\/\">Conway Library<\/a> on Layers of London. <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/tag\/layers-of-london\/\">In a series of blog posts<\/a>, we\u2019ll be sharing just a few of the records they have made to try and encourage our blog readers to go explore the map and photographs!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this post, we have reproduced four of seventeen records (and counting) made by our volunteer <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/2020\/06\/01\/meet-our-volunteers-barbara-diane-michael\/\">Michael<\/a>. Thank you, Michael, for creating so many evocative records, which really show the variety of photographs in the Conway Library.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Michael says: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My favourite photograph is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/category\/the-kersting-archive\/\">Anthony Kersting<\/a>\u2019s &#8211; The Horniman Museum. It\u2019s a place I know well from visits and he captures it in that unique way he has, making a building, no matter how familiar, appear to you as if for the first time.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My favourite entry, however, is of The Crown Tavern. I hope I\u2019ve captured the nostalgia of the period and the central role pubs played in social life particularly as we have lost so many already and no doubt more to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Records created by Michael Mayes<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_838\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-838\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-838\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/06\/CON_B04084_F002_034-799x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04084_F002_034-799x1024.jpg 799w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04084_F002_034-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04084_F002_034-768x984.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04084_F002_034.jpg 1110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Crown Tavern, Aberdeen Place, London.

Its new incarnation is a striking residential property restored to show off its late Victorian origins. This image is intriguing. The wonderfully decorated windows invite the sunlight to steal in, throwing panes of light across the floor and wall, and highlighting a coat on its peg. A restless dog lingers near its master. A half-finished beer stands on the table, where on the opposite side a man sits, rolling his smoke, with a pint of Dublin&#8217;s finest waiting to be enjoyed.

It was renamed <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/2018\/11\/07\/lorraine-stoker-modernity-in-the-conway\/\">Bevin Court<\/a> and located in Holford Gardens. Lubetkin had previously, in 1942, designed and installed the memorial you see in the photograph. In an uncanny parallel with events in June 2020 when protesters targeted statues of figures involved in the slave trade, Lenin&#8217;s memorial was regularly damaged and defaced, and eventually it was buried by Lubetkin beneath a staircase when Bevin Court was being built. The photograph featured in an exhibition, British Art and Design Before the War, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southbankcentre.co.uk\/venues\/hayward-gallery\">Hayward Gallery<\/a> in 1979-80. The photographer has captured an image of what could be considered an understated design: the arch above Lenin&#8217;s head, the inset inscription, the housing set at a downward angle. Note, however, the security chain around the base, a sign, perhaps, of the protests to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_840\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-840\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-840\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/06\/CON_B04108_F003_024-806x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04108_F003_024-806x1024.jpg 806w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04108_F003_024-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04108_F003_024-768x976.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2020\/06\/CON_B04108_F003_024.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-840\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ludgate Circus Railway Bridge, London.

Scrutinise the cyclists hurtling down the hill, drop-handle racers having a great time in the light traffic &#8211; it is probably not rush hour.

It is well known and frequently attended and plenty of information can be derived from its website. This image, taken by Anthony Kersting, exemplifies his approach to photography. Judging by the leafless trees, it appears to have been taken in the late afternoon of a winter&#8217;s day. The long shadow raking from the left anchors the building, which is highlighted and framed. Sky detail is minimal but the wisp of cloud is such a delight. The vehicle passing in front of the building suggests a longish exposure. Time, care and attention to detail whisper quietly from this image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">See all the records created by Michael here: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.layersoflondon.org\/map\/users\/2090\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.layersoflondon.org\/map\/users\/2090<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And all the Conway Library photographs on Layers of London here: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.layersoflondon.org\/map\/collections\/446\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.layersoflondon.org\/map\/collections\/446<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audio version Read by Claudia Neagu Text version Introduction by Fran Allfrey, volunteer officer &nbsp; You can now find over 80 photographs from the Conway Library on Layers of London.
