Description
Hampstead and Highgate Through Time by Robert Bard explores the rich history of these two London neighborhoods. Although early records date back to 986, the area's development is generally traced to the seventeenth century. This period saw the construction of luxurious housing in what is now Frognal & Fitzjohns, much of which still stands today. Highgate, meanwhile, has a complex past, having been part of the Bishop of London's hunting estate and later associated with the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin. The area also played host to the first cable car to be built in Europe, which operated between 1884 and 1909. Today, Hampstead and Highgate retain their village feel. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of these two neighborhoods, from their early beginnings to their development over the centuries.
