Vintage Rotten Row Hyde Park
Rotten Row was established by William III at the end of the 17th century. Having moved his court to Kensington Palace, William wanted a safer way to travel to St. James Palace. He created the broad avenue through Hyde Park, lit with 300 oil lamps in 1690– the first artificially lit highway in Britain. The lighting was a precaution against highwaymen who lurked in Hyde Park at the time. (digital photo manipulation artwork)
