From Kensal Village to Golborne Road - Tales of the Inner City
by Jerome Borkwood
'There's a wealth of detail. Anyone interested in the past, present or future of the area will find it a fascinating read. Not a book you can easily put down.' Adam Raphael, The Economist
The story of the transformation of Kensal Village and Golborne Road from the nineteenth century through to the present day. Tales include the early developers' failed hopes of building homes for the middle classes, the poverty and overcrowding which followed, the wholesale redevelopment of the area after the Second World War and the contribution of many individuals and communities to present day Golborne's life and character.
