Kensal Rise Library The site was donated by All Souls College, Oxford and the library was opened by Mark Twain, who had been staying nearby at Dollis Hill House. At the ceremony, Mark Twain gave the Library Committee Chairman five of his books and a signed photograph. Credit: Wiki Commons TUM image id: 1453375368 Licence:	Mitre Bridge, Scrubs Lane, NW10 (1941) This is a curious photograph in many ways. It’s 1941 but the truck has unmasked headlights, which you’d normally expect to see. The trolleybus doesn’t have anti-blast netting on its windows and neither does it have the large white disc painted on the rear of the vehicle that was normally placed there to aid visibility in the blackout. The black and white stripes on the kerb look very freshly painted and the sentry is wearing civilian clothes, but if he is a Home Guardsman, by 1941 we’d expect him to be in uniform.
