More about this scene
The abbey's cleaning and restoration programme began in the 1950s. Here the porch gleams in contrast with the rest of the west end's sooty facade. In the early 1990s the figures of 20th-century martyrs, including Martin Luther King and Oscar Romero, were added to the empty niches.

In 1881 at 336 Portabello Road single woman Mary Dowsett aged 46 was greengrocer and had her neice Elizabeth Poulter living with her. She may have had a stall in the market as it mainly sold fresh-food in the 19th century? I think the present market resides in the district of Notting Hill.
Alexander Mcnab aged 29 & his wife Harriet aged 35 with their 2 young sons resided at number 324 Grays Inn Road on the 1901 census. Earlier in 1897 Alexander had been a Stage Carriage driver in Holloway. Cornelius Crawley another Omnibus driver probably was their lodger.
