TRIVIA: Cumnock to Canning Town
|
|
Keir Hardie, first leader of the Labour Party, represented West Ham in Parliament from 1892 to 1895. No top hat and tails for him at Westminster, he wore a tweed suit, a red tie and a deerstalker hat. He still has a presence in the Capital - nine pictures of him in the National Portrait Gallery, a Housing Estate, Park, Primary School and Methodist Church all named after him. (no pubs however - he was a leading light in the temperence movement). Hardie was never a big fan of London, preferring to return to Lochnorris' his house in Cumnock.
