The Barnum & Bailey Circus procession passing the mansions of Kingsway, between Third and Forth Avenues on 13 July 1899. Note the social strata of those times. On the entrance porch of the ground floor – the family. At the first floor balcony – probably two governesses. On the second floor balcony – the five housemaids.
These large houses, on the West Brighton Estate were built early in the 1880s and outwardly they were little changed now, some 70 years later. The wealthy families are gone though and most of the houses have long since been converted into flats.
