West Hill Ward in Wandsworth straddles the historic areas of Putney, Southfields and Wimbledon in southwest London. It has undergone two major transformations--around 1850 and 1950--which transformed it from landscaped woodland to an area of large villas set in extensive grounds to densely populated inner city with heavy social housing. This short account seeks to trace those changes through the stories of the houses, their occupants, and their occupants' friends and neighbours.
