Think you know Streatham Hill? Discover streets that hide histories of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. A self-taught photographer who became England’s first female press photographer; a drain layer who built workers’ community housing; a Windrush Generation man, refused a teaching post because he was black, who became a reporter, author and university lecturer; a man who established the first self-service supermarket though everyone said it wouldn’t catch on in England and more. The walk ends on the corner of Telford Ave/Streatham Hill.
