From Palaces of Art to the Studios of Bohemia: Artists\u2019 Houses in Victorian Kensington and Chelsea, by Jo Banham<\/a><\/h3>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Successful Victorian artists, like Leighton and Luke Fildes, earned incomes that meant they were able to commission magnificent, purpose-built studio houses in the leafy suburbs of Holland Park and Kensington. The less wealthy and more unconventional, like Rossetti and Whistler, gravitated towards Chelsea, occupying picturesque old buildings in the area. This lecture reviews the two most famous artists\u2019 colonies – Melbury Road, Kensington and Cheyne Walk and Tite Street, Chelsea – and explores the lives and interiors of the painters who lived there.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMore information<\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Ilkley, from village Spa to Victorian resort – a walk with Alex Cockshott<\/a><\/h3>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ilkley started as a village with fresh air and pure cold water. It had an increasing number of visitors in the Victorian era. With the arrival of the railway station in 1865, and the Middleton family starting land sales against a planned grid, the village expanded. We shall look at how the town centre developed, including the Grove.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMore information<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
