After the clay was shaped it was then fired in a series of brick and tile kilns. There is one 19th century kiln still remaining in the area, this is on Walmer Road. During the same period the pig farmers of London were forced out of the Marble Arch area and they moved into the same area as the brick and tile kilns. This area became known as the Potteries and Piggeries.
During the early 19th century the westward expansion of London was gradually getting closer to Notting Hill and the main landowner at that time was the Ladbroke family, so from the 1820s James Weller Ladbroke undertook the development of the Ladbroke Estate, which is the reason why many of the streets in the area bear the Ladbroke name. The houses within the development were large and the aim was to entice the very richest Londoners to the area, this did not work at first as the wealthy preferred to live closer to the centre of London in Belgravia or Mayfair. Notting Hill became an area where the upper middle class could live in the Belgravia and Mayfair style but at a lower cost.
During the 20th century the areas reputation changed and this was mainly due to the fact that the middle class households no longer employed servants and gradually the large Notting Hill houses dropped in their value and were often split into multiple dwellings. Eventually the area became a slum area with children running barefoot and hungry.
Gradually during the 20th century the area began to improve and since the 1980s the area has gradually been revived and people with families began to favour single-occupation houses, if they could afford them. Today Notting Hill is one of London’s most desirable areas to live in and one of the most expensive.
