6 January 2025 Comments Off on Walking Tour – Suffragette Line : Gospel OakSee where fields gave way to cottages and award winning council housing . One of a series of walks exploring the Suffragette Line.
Starting at the western end of the Suffragette Line on the edge of Parliament Hill we see where fields gave way first to Victorian cottages and later to award-winning modernist Council housing.
On our way to Chalk Farm, we discover how the area got it’s name, hear about some runaway elephants and wonder at he “craziest Victorian church in London”, We see where political writer Karl Marx and novelist Buchi Emecheta lived and finish back with the railways at the Roundhouse.
