William Roberts

William Roberts lived at 14 St Mark's Crescent in Primrose Hill. After his son died in 1995 efforts were made to preserve the house in the same way as Charleston has been preserved; it so much deserved saving, but London house prices were by then so high this proved impossible. However, there is a William Roberts Society, and here is a superbly insightful, delicate and informative talk about the Roberts house by Pauline Paucker. Also, at the end of the talk there is a 'video tour' (on youtube) of the house (it's fourteen minutes long, but Persephone Post readers will not want to miss a single second; it gives an extraordinary impression of exactly how the house was).
