Wilsham Street, W11

Charles Booth's poverty map placed the Kensington Potteries among the 'criminal and irreclaimable areas', largely on account of the overcrowded condition of its unsuitable and derelict houses.

Five short streets in the district became known as the 'Special Area.': Bangor Street, Crescent Street and three roads that have been renamed. St. Clement's, now called Sirdar Road, St Katherine's Road, now Wilsham Street, and William, now Kenley Street.
