Writing about Notting Hill and its sources

In this unit, pupils study a specific historical environment. They learn about the local context of this area and the way in which it interacted with national issues and the themes they have studied in their thematic study.

Historic environments

the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people

a single house rented out to multiple people or multiple families, also known as HMOs

a music and dance party organised by Caribbean residents of Notting Hill in response to a lack of migrant-friendly leisure entertainment, often held in basements or other migrant-owned venues

a style of music originating in Jamaica in the 1950s, making use of horns and trumpets alongside other instruments

a style of music that developed from ska in the 1960s, differing from it in its focus on the use of keyboards

the use of personal or collective effort to achieve something without relying on the government

these allowed Caribbean migrants to make use of credit by paying into a communal fund, as many similar organisations did not accept migrant contributions
