History
Florence Gladstone was, like her sister of artist Elizabeth Gladstone, a water colour enthusiast, but she is best known as a Kensington local historian. Her book “Notting Hill in Bygone Days” published in 1924, went through many editions. An album of her water colour sketches painted in the 1870s, was auctioned at Mallam’s in Oxford in 2013. A school for girls on Worthington Road in North Kensington bore her name from 1951 to 1958, when it became a boys’ school.
