Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition, Presumed First printing. 125, [3] pages. Ink name and address written inside front board; a second ink name and inscription written inside front free endpaper appears to be signed by a British Lord. Includes Introduction, as well as chapters on Melbury Road, Holland Park Avenue, and Dis…trict Melbury; Church Street and Campden Hill; Holland House and Holland Walk; Kensington Palace and Kensington Garden; Kensington Square and Victoria Grove; The Albert Memorial and South Kensington; and Brompton and South Kensington. Contains several brown and pink sketches of homes in the area. Some page discoloration noted. Eric George Whelpton (21 March 1894 - 13 February 1981) was an author, teacher and traveler. He entered Hertford College, Oxford in 1913. He taught at Christ Church Cathedral School. At Oxford, Whelpton became a close friend of Dorothy Sayers; upon him she perhaps based the character of Lord Peter Wimsey. Whelpton later taught French at King's College School, London, and was reader in comparative education at King's College London (1931-42). Following the death of her husband, Dorothy Sayers acted as Whelpton's literary secretary. During World War II, Whelpton worked as a BBC news correspondent in France and, as recounted in his travel book, The Balearics: Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, he was told by a Swiss correspondent that he was on the Gestapo blacklist. His last two books, The Making of a European (1974) and The Making of an Englishman (1977), are largely autobiographical. He was married to the artist and writer Barbara Whelpton. The authors conclude that the many quiet streets and corners in Kensington provide much pleasure, but are also threatened by reconstruction. These areas must be protected from ruthless commercialism. If any rebuilding is done, it is important to reflect that our civilization is not made of material things, and that if you give people ugly and tasteless surroundings, their minds and their outlooks will deteriorate accordingly. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) is an Inner London borough with royal status. It is the smallest borough in London and the second smallest district in England; it is one of the most densely populated administrative regions in the United Kingdom. It includes affluent areas such as Notting Hill, Kensington, South Kensington, Chelsea, and Knightsbridge. The borough is immediately west of the City of Westminster and east of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It contains major museums and universities in Albertopolis, department stores such as Harrods, Peter Jones and Harvey Nichols, and embassies in Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Kensington Gardens. The borough is home to the Notting Hill Carnival, Europe's largest, and contains many of the most expensive residential properties in the world. The local authority is Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council. Its motto, adapted from the opening words of Psalm 133, is Quam bonum in Unum habitare, which translates roughly as 'How good it is to dwell in unity'. Of its history the council states: "Despite the boroughs being separate originally, Kensington and Chelsea still retain their unique characters. Even the amalgamation of the two boroughs, unpopular as it was at the time, has been accepted. Today conservation combined with the adoption of sympathetic new architecture is seen as a key objective. In every corner of the borough signs of its history can be seen: from Grade 1 listed buildings Kensington Palace and the Royal Hospital, Chelsea to others recalled in street names such as Pottery Lane and Hippodrome Mews." In 200 years the area has been transformed from a "rural idyll" to a thriving part of the modern metropolis. Chelsea had originally been countryside upon which Thomas More built Beaufort House. He came to Chelsea in 1520 and built the house, which in his day had two courtyards laid out between the house and the river, and in the north of the site acres of gardens and orchards were planted. It was from here in 1535 that More was taken to the Tower and beheaded later that year. This area of Cheyne Walk continued its historic significance; nearby Crosby Hall sits on the river near the Church of Thomas More, and what was once Thomas Carlyle's residence remains on Cheyne Row. Kensington's royal borough status was granted in 1901 as it was the home of Kensington Palace, where Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and lived until her accession in 1837. Commissioned by King William III, Christopher Wren enlarged and rebuilt the original house in 1689, turning it into a fitting royal residence. With the King came many court officials, servants and followers. Kensington Square, until then a failing venture, became a popular residential area. The Palace was regularly used by reigning monarchs until 1760 and since then by members of the Royal family. Kensington's royal borough status was inherited by the new borough. During the Second World War, civilians suffered great hardship; there were some 800 deaths and 40,000 injuries. A huge army of civilian volunteers was raised, including Auxiliary Fire Service, Red Cross, Air Raid Wardens and Rescue Services. During the Blitz much damage was caused by explosive and incendiary bombs, especially along Chelsea's riverside. But worse was to come in 1944 with the arrival of the V2 rockets, or flying bombs. Among the buildings either destroyed or seriously damaged, usually with terrible loss of life, were Chelsea Old Church, Church of Our Most Holy Redeemer, Our Lady of Victories, St Mary Abbots, St Stephens Hospital, St Mary Abbot's Hospital, Sloane Square tube station, World's End, the Royal Hospital and Holland House. Kensington and Chelsea is perhaps best known today for two events that demonstrate both their traditional and modern aspects. The Chelsea Flower Show, held in the grounds of the Royal Hospital every May, is attended by Royalty and the "cream of society"; and the Notting Hill Carnival, held every August Bank Holiday on the streets of No. Barbara (Crocker) Whelpton (illustrator).
