Strawberry Hill

the long version

A short history of the area of West London called Strawberry Hill. It is primarily, though not exclusively, for the people who live in the area who wish to know more about their neighbourhood, their roads or even their houses. The history has a topographical bias which is deliberate: much has already been written about Alexander Pope, Horace Walpole, Laetitia Hawkins, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Frances Waldegrave and their friends. This book is mainly about the place they lived in and where we live today.
