Greater London Council

Site: Ford Madox Ford - W8 (1 memorial)

W8, Campden Hill Road, 80

Ford lived here for a few years with his mistress Violet Hunt and at the time the address was according to RBKC (who have a 1966 photo of the house), South Lodge, because an astronomer called James South had built an observatory in the house. We think Sir Victor Horsley may have been born here.

This is a lovely plaque but the fireman's helmet on a plaque for a police constable is odd. It doesn't even seem as if a fire was involved.
