I was conceived on a smoggy night in early 1952 when there was nothing on the steam radio.... We lived in a top floor flat, off the Cromweii Road, in Kensington (Fig 1), overlooking the Circle and District Lines interchange between Earls Court and Gloucester Road and my earliest memory of construction was the infill of this triangle to form the West London Air Terminal (now a Sainsburys store). My fate was probably sealed when we found the crane driver's name was Norman; there is no more impressionable person to a 4-year old than a crane driver!
