- past tense - a wander round the working class and radical history of harnmersrnith
This walk was originally researched and drawn up by members of the West Lortdon Arrarch.ists & Radicals group (since defunct), who guided about 30 people around the walk on Friday 3 May 2001. The walk was part of the Mayday Festival of Alternatives. The walk lasted about two hours and at the end we finished off with a few pints in one of Hamn"1ersmith’s oldest pubs, the Dove. In August 2004 the walk was retrodden as a roving South London Radical History Group event. T _'
Some additional information has been added by interested mudlarl-as at the with permission of the walk’s original architects. Numbers in circular boxes refer to points on the map on page 18.
The title of this pamphlet is a description ofHammersmith by William Morris, from his classic com-numist Utopian. novel, News From Nowhere. The main chrtracter, based on Morris himselfl lives in Hammersmith; hefalls asleep in “the shabby London Suburb”, discontented. alienated, and longingfor a bet- ter world - and wakes in a distant future where capitalism has been overthrown and everyone lines happy, useful andfree.
START: HAMMERSMITH TUBE STATION (I-lammersrnith and City Line )
The most famous revolutionary in Hammersmith was William Morris, who we will encounter many times, but there is much more to our local radical history than Morris. For erratmple, Hammersmith was a stronghold of the National Union of the Working Classes in the early 18305. Meetings were held here, in other working class areas. in the lead up to the Battle of Coldbath Fields. where radicals fought a pitched battle with police in Clerkenwell. Later the local branch of the Chartist League met a short distance from here in Hammersmith Road, many times between 1842 and 1848. Chartist I demagogue Feargus O°Connor lived in King Street in 1837. warriors, it was handy for Teds from Fulham, Battersea and Elephant and Castle in the south-east who would come over for a skirmish.

Brook Green was the site of St Pauls School for posh girls. The school had to stop using the public baths in 1908 as the local bad boys of Hammersmith pulled their pigtails. A good example of class warfare! Dick Turpin was known to frequent the Queens Head pub (in which you can still enjoy a pint) Brook Green Fair was held here for centuries, but was banned in the 1820s, when such rowdy gatherings were being suppressed as they terrified the authorities and upset religious reformers, because of the explosion of sex and drink that accompanied them. They also were annoying the middle classes the Clash song ‘Wh.ite Man. in Hammersm.ith Pa-lais’.
