Description: | Margaret Monck took this photo of local residents in the street outside their 19th-century homes in the poorer neighbourhood of Portland Town, St Marylebone.
The area was being redeveloped by the Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone at the time, and many of these older buildings were demolished. Once they had been cleared, new blocks of flats including Townshend and Eamont Courts were built in their place. Many local people had to be re-housed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Photograph by Margaret Monck | Subjects: | Public services Cityscape Home and Family | Temporal: | 1931-1940 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
