North Kensington Histories 
Thanks for providing this amenity. I’m seeking information – part of my memory is slowed down – about the firebombing at the social services office in Westway. No one was physically hurt but many were traumatised by it. I think it was around the early 80s. I need the date in order to access the LFB report. I’m not short of memories of it…. I was a duty social worker on that day!!!!
I’d appreciate any steer or suggestion which will help advance my writing a memoir on it.
Many thanks.
