Did you know that when the 'Windrush Generation' of Afro-Carribeans began arriving in the UK hardly anyone would rent them properties?
Yet one highly unscrupulous slum lord saw an opportunity and started using properties in Notting Hill.
This led to sever racial tension and the 1958 riots.
He fought alongside the 'polish resistance' in the Second World War as his family lived there.
He garnered a reputation as a gangster and ran numerous brothels. He worked alongside the Krays and was involved in the Profumo Affair.
His name?
Peter Rachman.
He is buried in the Bushey jewish cemetery.
