6 Quirky Facts About Shepherd’s Bush
- Mr Popular
First recorded in 704 AD as part of the Fulanham Estate, Shepherd’s Bush went largely unnoticed until 1657 when Miles Sindercombe, who lived in a cottage on Goldhawk Road, became the focus of national scandal. He tried (several times) to assassinate the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell. Sindercombe’s attempts were slightly farcical, all four ‘assassinations’ ended in failure and eventually Sindercombe was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered. He wasn’t the only one, several groups plotted to get rid of Cromwell who wasn’t hugely popular with Londoners. Hardly surprising as he introduced ‘moral laws’ which banned the theatre, drinking and even Christmas!! - The Devil’s Highway
Goldhawk Road and the southern boundary of Shepherd’s Bush Green both run along The Devil’s Highway. This was a Roman Road that ran from London to Silchester, it was also the route Boudicca and her tribe used on their way to push the Roman’s out of London (they actually did a runner before she got there). The Devil’s Highway later became an infamous hunting ground for highwaymen. Today stretches of it are said to be haunted. - Keep On Running…
The 1908 London Olympics might not have witnessed the monarch leaping out of a helicopter with James Bond, but it did make the marathon longer. In order to ensure the finishing line coincided with the royal box where Queen Alexandra was sitting, an extra 385 yards was added to the 26 miles (as if the runners hadn’t already gone far enough!). All official marathon races now cover exactly 26 miles, 385 yards. Phew! - Famous Faces
Paul Bettany (actor), Lawrence Dallaglio, (rugby player), Roger Daltrey (The Who), Heston Blumenthal (chef), Sarala Behn (social and economic activist), Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), all hail from Shepherd’s Bush. Keith Richards was briefly detained at Her Majesty’s pleasure at the Scrubs for a drugs conviction before being released on appeal, the courts must have had sympathy for the Devil. - Do Not Adjust Your Set
Television Centre is perhaps the most iconic building in British TV. Kids that grew up in an era of 3 TV channels will remember that BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, was the home of the most popular shows like Blue Peter and Take Hart. Other classic shows recorded here include; Miranda, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, the Two Ronnies, Casualty, Blackadder, Blake’s 7, Later with Jools Holland, Vicar of Dibley, Children in Need, Strictly, The One Show and many more… - Fallen Women
Once described by the author William Faulkner as ‘a pleasant village’, Shepherd’s Bush became an area of reform and salvation for one group of women. Charles Dickens found and funded a home for women who had been convicted of prostitution. The house held 13 guests at a time and Dickens was insistent Urania Cottage should be called a ‘home’ not an institution. Dickens was a champion of and benefactor to the under privileged and was responsible for several projects in London to help those that had suffered hardship. At Urania Cottage he interviewed every resident, once the interview was over, he told them that was the last time they should tell their story and instead start a new life from that day.
