BlackJack Playground
Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance was my favourite childhood park.I went to St Mary’s Catholic school, East Row from Nursery all the way through to Year 6 before Secondary School and I was taken here to play most days. There was a centre piece flower bed in the Voysey Garden surrounded by a pond which my classmates and I used to jump over when no one was looking. The Black jack playground was the go to playground for our sports days and my every day shortcut to get close to the half penny steps foot bridge via Kensal Road. There was also a shop where we could buy ice lollies on hot summer days.The Southern Row side of the Park was filled with pebbles which used to be so fun to walk through as a child, I used to walk through the deepness of the pebbles to get to Bosworth Road or east towards Hornimans Adventure Park.

Auction of the paper stock of Janssen and Roberts
A broadside advertisement reads: "By auction, to be sold on Thursday next being the 16th of this present July, the remainder of the stock in partnership between Janssen and Roberts, at their late dwelling-house in Dean’s Court, the south side of St. Pauls, consisting of Genoa papers according to the particulars underneath." The date in the ESTC record is purely speculative; July 16th was a Thursday in many years during the 18th century; 1750 is only one possibility. Extensive searching has found no other record of the partners or the auction.

Albert Mews
It is not a gargoyle over the entrance arch to Albert Mews, it is a likeness of Prince Albert himself.

Dukes Place, EC3A
Until his death in 1767, Daniel Nunes de Lara worked from his home in Dukes Street as a Pastry Cook. It was not until much later the street was renamed Dukes Place. Daniel and his family attended the nearby Bevis Marks synagogue for Sephardic Jews. The Ashkenazi Great Synagogue was established in Duke Street, which meant Daniel’s business perfectly situated for his occupation as it allowed him to cater for both congregations.

Some Brief Notes on Hawthorne Close / Hawthorne Street
My great-grandparents lived in the last house on the south side of Hawthorne Street, no 13, and my grandmother Alice Knopp and her brothers and sisters grew up there. Alice Knopp married Charles Flewers, from nearby Hayling Road, and moved to Richmond, Surrey, where I was born. Leonard Knopp married Esther Gutenberg and lived there until the street was demolished in the mid-1960s, moving on to Tottenham. Uncle Len worked in the fur trade, then ran a pet shop in, I think, the Kingsland Road.

From the back garden, one could see the almshouses in the Balls Pond Road. There was an ink factory at the end of the street, which I recall as rather malodorous.

Ealing Broadway

Ealing Broadway is the western terminus of the Central and District Lines.

The original name for the area was Haven Green, a piece of common land which lies at a crossroads where tracks to Anglo-Saxon settlements at Twyford, Greenford, Hillingdon and Northolt joined the road from London to Uxbridge and Oxford.

Uxbridge Road became an important drovers’ road - the route along which sheep and other livestock were driven to market in London. Haven Green was perhaps one of the last stops for these animals on their way to slaughter.

Until the 19th century, Haven Green lay outside the old Ealing Village which grew around St Mary’s church half a mile to the south.

The Great Western Railway (GWR) opened broad gauge tracks through Haven Green between Paddington and Taplow on 6 April 1838, although Ealing Broadway station did not open until 1 December 1838. It was initially named ’Ealing’, but was renamed Ealing Broadway in 1875.

District Railway (now the District Line) services commenced on 1 July 1879, when it opened a branch from Turnham Green on its Richmond line.

The Central London Railway (now the Central Line) extended its service from its terminus at Wood Lane to use the new GWR tracks to Ealing Broadway on 3 August 1920.

Originally separate companies, by 1920 the DR and the CLR were both owned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL). Despite this, the CLR services operated via the GWR station building, not the Underground one.

The GWR-built station was demolished in 1961 and replaced by a new structure containing shops and a ticket hall, opened in 1965.

Elizabeth Line services included Ealing Broadway on its line out to Reading and Heathrow.
