  • Narratives Great and Small: Neighbourhood Change, Place and Identity in Notting Hill Graham P
    This is an electronic version of an Article published in International Journal of Urban and Regional Research 29 (1): 67-88. © 2005 Joint Editors and Blackwell Publishing Limited Narratives great and small: neighbourhood change, place and identity in Notting Hill Graham P. Martin The area of Notting Hill in west London has been subject to much media coverage in recent years, which, along with substantial gentrification, has given rise to an image of the area as the epitome of fashionable London. This study investigates the views of those marginal to gentrification and mediated representation on their feelings about the local area, its image and their changing neighbourhoods. Many participants in the research resented some of the more recent changes in Notting Hill and the area's representation in the media. However, in contrast to expectations, most of the more working-class respondents involved in the research did not articulate much emotional attachment to the area. They were more concerned with what might be termed the material aspects of life in Notting Hill: convenience, facilities, safety and so on. In contrast, the more middle-class respondents frequently spoke of their regret of the changes to the area, such as the loss of independent shops, and the reduction in diversity. Paradoxically, the loss of working-class landscapes seems a relatively middle-class worry. The symbolically important landscapes described by working-class respondents were related to more immediate, material issues, in which gentrification was only a relatively minor concern. Published in: International Journal of Urban and Regional Research 29 (1): 67-88 http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0309-1317 http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1111/j.1468-2427.2005.00570.x/abs/ doi:10.1111/j.1468-2427.2005.00570.x Introduction The last 15 years or so have witnessed much academic interest in the cultural aspects of contemporary shifts in the structure of urban space.

  • Portobello Road, Notting Hill, Holland Park
    point your feet on a new path Portobello Road, Notting Hill, Holland Park Distance: 6 km=3¾ miles easy walking Region: London Date written: 4-mar-2013 Author: Thwelder Last update: 11-dec-2020 Refreshments: everywhere Map: London A-Z Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Canal, famous market, smart city houses, forest park In Brief This is a fascinating walk taking you through some iconic parts of west London, including the nearly mile-long Portobello Road market, the suave Notting Hill and an unexpected gem which is Holland Park. You will never be far from the centre of London but some of the districts will be unfamiliar and will provide a few eye-openers. Unusually, there’s a definitely preferred day-of-the week: Saturday , when the market is open. It’s fabulous at any time of the year but the best month might be mid-April when the flowering cherries in Notting Hill are at their best. The walk begins at Westbourne Park Underground Station. This is on the Hammersmith and City line (pink on the tube map) and can be reached from Kings Cross, Baker Street or Edgware Road stations, and many others. (If you change at Paddington, you have a chance to walk the length of Brunel’s great station.) The walk ends at High Street Kensington (or at Notting Hill Gate if you cut the walk short).

  • The Golborne Road Railway Bridge Is a Powerful and Distinct Reminder of the Forward Progress of Mixing and the Movement of Populations in All Its Guises
    The Golborne Road Railway Bridge is a powerful and distinct reminder of the forward progress of mixing and the movement of populations in all its guises. It relates directly to the coming together of people on a London-wide, English, British and European level. As you will see from this brief report, this iron bridge was designed and built at a time of great and unstoppable change in British and European history, effecting cultural, political, economic and social change, the outcomes of which we clearly live with today. The Golborne Road Bridge spans the Great Western Railway route. A line that travels from Paddington Station in West London to the West of England and Wales. The bridge provides important access to the shopping and leisure centres of Golborne Road and Portobello Road for all residents of the Kensal Town area, Trellick Tower and Edenham Estate; The areas at the furthest edges of Kensington that began life as an isolated village, descended into notorious slums and now contain a fine mix of people with the heritage and history of much of the world. The Golborne Road Bridge is a Truss Bridge – specifically a pony truss, with the sides extending unconnected above the roadbed. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridge, composed of connected elements, typically straight, under stress. Truss bridges are particularly economical to construct due to their efficient use of materials. Their heyday was between 1840 and 1880, after the age of wood and before the age of steel. The Golborne Road Bridge is of iron construction, although given its age it could contain a mixture of ferrous metals – Wrought iron, cast iron, pig iron, steel.

  • Portobello/Notting Hill Place (Sections 7.1 – 7.3)
    The Core Strategy of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with a Focus on North Kensington DPD, Inspector’s Report October 2010 APPENDIX Bv The Council’s Proposed Modified text to Chapter 7: Portobello/Notting Hill Place (Sections 7.1 – 7.3) Chapter 7 Portobello/Notting Hill 7.1 Introduction 7.1.1 Portobello Road and Notting Hill are internationally known for their “bohemian” character, a character which derives from the eclectic mix of local shopping, bookshops, antiques and other second hand goods. This character has been eroded since its height in the early 1970s, with dramatic increases in property prices, particularly since the 1990s, resulting in changing demographics and changes in the types of shops in the area. However, the community remains vibrant and people are passionate about maintaining the character and the diversity of the area. 7.1.2 Portobello Road offers a unique retail experience that combines a strong tradition of street markets, antique trading, vintage and ‘edgy’ fashion, and local shopping. 7.1.3 This area consists of two quite different characters of retail trading: Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove. Internationally the two areas are known as 'Notting Hill'. Golborne Road, which lies some 300 metres to the north of the Portobello Road centre, is also an integral part of this area. However, given its own distinct identity it has its own Place and its own vision. (Chapter 6.) 7.1.4 Portobello Road is an internationally celebrated cultural asset and tourist destination, but only for, at most, two days of the week. The antiques and flea markets attract very high footfall to the road on Friday and during the weekend (53).
