CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LOCALITY |
Ken Herlingshaw Added: 17 Jun 2023 18:34 GMT | St John the Evangelist - Spire The top of the church spire fell off during WW2 (presumably during a bombing raid ?) and for many years after that the spire had a flat top. I don’t know when it was restored. Definitely not in the early fifties when I went to Sunday School there. Reply |
Ken Herlingshaw Added: 17 Jun 2023 18:35 GMT | Clarendon Road - post WW2 I used to live at 62 Clarendon Road, from about 1947 to 1956. It was one of four prefabs on the site, numbers 60, 60A, 62 and 62A. The original building there (on the corner with Lansdowne Rise) was bombed during WW2. Prefabs weren’t very popular with the up-market Kensington Borough councillors, however, and at the earliest opportunity they were demolished and we were moved to Henry Dickens Court. We inherited a telephone line from the original occupier, a band leader, when we moved into the prefab and the phone number was BAYswater 0050. But we didn’t know anybody else with a phone to call.

Paul Cox Added: 5 Mar 2024 22:18 GMT | War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there. Reply |

Gillian Added: 17 Feb 2024 00:08 GMT | No 36 Upper East Smithfield My great great grandfather was born at No 36 Upper East Smithfield and spent his early years staring out at a "dead wall" of St Katharine’s Docks. His father was an outfitter and sold clothing for sailors. He describes the place as being backed by tenements in terrible condition and most of the people living there were Irish. Reply |
Kevin Pont Added: 16 Feb 2024 20:32 GMT | Name origin Interestingly South Lambeth derives its name from the same source as Lambeth itself - a landing place for lambs. But South Lambeth has no landing place - it is not on the River Thames Reply |
C Hobbs Added: 31 Jan 2024 23:53 GMT | George Gut (1853 - 1861) George Gut, Master Baker lived with his family in Long Lane. George was born in Bernbach, Hesse, Germany and came to the UK sometime in the 1840s. In 1849, George married an Englishwoman called Matilda Baker and became a nauralized Englishman. He was given the Freedom of the City of London (by Redemption in the Company of Bakers), in 1853 and was at that time, recorded as living at 3 Long Lane. In the 1861 census, George Gut was living at 11 Long Lane. Reply |
