Nostalgic memories of Notting Hill's local history

Share your own memories of Notting Hill and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I remember Guy Fawkes night in Convent Garden, Notting Hill just after the war. The bomb sites were full of adventure and wood to build huge bonfires. For a couple of weeks prior to the big night we Convent Garden Gang members had been out with our Guys collecting money for fireworks, and nicking potatoes from stalls in Portobello Road to cook on the bonfires. Our pleasure knew no bounds, and life was one giant adventure. Dennis.
