Streets and Characters of Kilburn and South Hampstead: an illustrated Zoom talk by Marianne Colloms and Dick Weindling

Last year’s publication, Streets and Characters of West Hampstead and Cricklewood, covered the Camden neighbourhoods north of the Jubilee line. In this presentation Marianne and Dick will talk about their companion book which covers the area south of the line.

 It is notable for its large-scale clearances of run down and bomb-damaged property, with redevelopment producing a council estate granted Grade II* status, regarded as one of the most distinguished post-war group of buildings. We will look at some of the residents, both past and present, include fascinating people from art, drama and film, and even a potential Jack the Ripper.
