"On the corner of Willoughby Road where it meets Haverstock Hill, Maggie the redoubtable had her flower-stall – she was there for 60 years and, since she died in 1974, must have started at the beginning of, or just before, the First World War. There’s a plaque in her memory on the wall.
The estate of the late Jenifer Ford, a lifelong member of the Society and Hampstead resident and painter, bequeathed to the Society a collection of her paintings of Hampstead and the Heath.
