The earliest surviving camera photograph, 1826 or 1827, known as View from the Window at Le Gras

You must log in or register to see images

Boulevard du Temple", a daguerreotype made by Louis Daguerre in 1838, is generally accepted as the earliest photograph to include people. It is a view of a busy street, but because the exposure lasted for several minutes the moving traffic left no trace. Only the two men near the bottom left corner, one of them apparently having his boots polished by the other, remained in one place long enough to be visible.

Dalgarno Gardens, W10 6AA

This has family history for me. My Grandfather Bill was one of the 1st tenants here and lived there until he was 93 years old. My Dad was also born there in 1948. It's Grandfather Bill's fault that QPR is in the bloodline<doh><cheers>

The site for Dalgarno Gardens was acquired in 1932 and its design was provided by architect Victor Wilkins. The lease granted to Peabody by the local authority will not expire until 2931.<applause>:emoticon-0148-yes:

The 24 blocks of the estate were built between 1934 and 1938 for a cost of just over £200,000. Despite suffering damage from a landmine in 1940 the estate was relatively fortunate during the devastation of the Second World War. Like other flats dating from the 1930s, there were no separate bathrooms and none were installed until renovations in the 1970s.

It was during this time that some pairs of blocks were linked by extending the balconies, enabling these blocks to be provided with a lift. In 1981 Block T was converted to provide sheltered accommodation.

I lived in Dalgarno Gardens! Peabody Buildings and "The Suttons" housing trust properties. No lifts in my block and my mate lived in a flat where the toilet was out on the converted balcony with the bath in the kitchen.

My Kilburn based Dad (2nd from left) clowning around with his mates as a 20 year old circa 1936.

Dad was the only one of this group of five London lads to make it through WWII - they used to take trips over to Ostend to have a bit of fun on the continent.
