Trini Hill
|
Last week Monday the streets of west
London once again were taken over by the sights and sounds of West Indian culture Carnival in Notting Hill came to
England via Trinidadians that migrated to England in the post WW2 period. In January of 1959 the first carnival event was held at the
St Pancras town hall in central London, this event was organised by the late
Claudia Jones and was to be a symbol of defiance against the raciest elements of the then British society. By 1964 a children's parade organised by one
Rhaune Laslett was supported by legendary panman Russ Henderson who made a tour of the Notting Hill area drawing out all the local
West Indians with the sound of sweet pan, and so the
Notting Hill Carnival was born and still lives today.
Here are some photos and links to other images of the festival this year enjoy the sights.
