by Shaaron Whetlor and Liz Bartlett

The history of Portobello Road, from its start as a lane leading to Portobello Farm in the early 19th century, comes to life in this award-winning book. Eye-witness accounts of people from a rich variety of backgrounds tell of the life around Portobello's street markets from early in the 20th century up to the present. It includes the story of Portobello Road's schools and school buildings, its churches, convents, shops, housing and street processions. It brings the story up to date with Carnival, which began here, and the origins of the present-day antique and flea markets.

60 pages, 100 photos and drawings, 4 colour plates.
