Notting Hill colored streets history needed
 
A student of mine has asked me the history of the coloured houses of London. I have looked for some article about it and ... nothing interesting !
 
Can someone explain to me what is the origin of such streets please ?
 
Thanks a lot for your answers.
 
Hugs to all and take great care of you all.
 
Maryse.

Hi Maryse,
 
I found this article:
 
Another article mentioned books by Charlie and Mike Phillips:
Notting Hill in the Sixties
Windrush 
I suspect the history of the coloured houses there may just be gentrification and/or part of a trend.
 
I hope that helps!
