This blog draws on current affairs, local history, politics, international relations (esp. Africa, the Carribean and the Middle East). My work as a School Governor will creep in and my interest in genealogy and the poet Robert Bloomfield. I live in NW6 Kilburn/West Hampstead so that features too. I co-ordinate and administer the Historic Kilburn Plaque Fund as well as being a Trustee of the Kilburn Festival. Contact: ed.fordham@gmail.com facebook page: ed fordham twitter: edfordham

Historic plaque scheme here in Kilburn?
Can you names these kilburnites?
Do they deserve a blue plaque or equivalent?
On which building would it go?
When and for how long was their residence in Kilburn?
Are there other parts of London for which there are so few recognitions of the people who lived there?
Ed, what you need down your way is a statue of Ian Dury. He may have been an Essex boy but he did help to put NW6 on the map by being in a band called Kilburn and the High Roads for years before he became famous. And what's not to like about Ian?
