hello all,

there is a lot of local interest in the history and architecture of queens park and i have tried to set up a local history group but varying circumstances (co-ordinating times and days) have thus far prevented a gathering, however, more recent overtures have been more favourable with a wider "audience" showing interest and the availability of a meeting place being included.

if interested parties would like to participate, either online through this forum or by invitation, to a meeting, let me know as i am aware that there are former residents who are interested and who have anecdotes to relate and probably photographs from a bygone era that we can all share.

Hi there
I've just come across your post taking a trip down memory lane.
My mum was in Bangor Street - North Kensington in 1921. I was born in Olaf Street Dwellings - North Kensington In 1948.
I don't live too far from there today but sadley Olaf Dwellings has been knocked down. However, Olaf Street is still there, along with The People's Hall Mission. Pictures on the net can be found.
My mother's maiden name was Carey. Her married name was Bonner.
I remember her the name Selby being mentioned.
I recently took my daughter to see where I used to live.
Olaf Street is off Latimer Road W11 and also Bramley Road.
Good luck with your search.

Hi,
I’ve just come across this post, I’m currently doing my family tree and found out that my paternal great grandfather and grandfather lived at Artizan dwellings Olaf St. I was wondering if anyone had a photo of these buildings?
Thanks in advance.
