| Claire. In the early years of the last century Bedford Park was a comfortably well off area but after WW2 fell into dilapidation and the crumbling houses were full of 1 room bedsits ( now known as studio apartments ). It was indeed Poverty Park and it wasn't until 1970 when the houses became Listed Grade 2 that things started to change. We could see the potential...... Just a lot of hard work and money needed. It is happily no longer known as Poverty Park but quite a lot of us have our memories and continue to fight with council plans etc. It is interesting to learn something of Stus history too and I see that he is a proper Bedford Parker. It is our wicked sense of humour which has sustained us through the long hard years. Long may it continue for us all. |
