Specialist note

Sir Colin and Lady Anderson lived in Admiral's House in Admiral's Walk for 30 years (1946-1976), and the 18th Century house can be seen at the far right of the present work. Sir Colin was chairman of the Hampstead Heath and Old Hampstead Protection Society, and cared passionately about the surrounding area, campaigning for the preservation of the Heath.
