Description: | Hampstead Garden Suburb was developed in 1907, driven by the energy of philanthropist Henrietta Barnett. She was trying to protect her local area from uncontrolled development, especially that threatened by the new transport link at Golders Green.
The suburb was designed by pioneering urban planners Parker and Unwin, with an emphasis on vernacular architecture. It was to be a village within London. In the end the suburb attracted many wealthy artistic residents and rather fewer 'workers', whom Barnett had initially been keen to incorporate.
This directory was a regularly published 'yellow pages' for the district, and contained information on what was on where, and advertisements for local services, tradesmen and amenities.
