Between 1790 and 1800, the poet and artist William Blake conceived, wrote, engraved and self-published some of the finest poems in the English language as well as some of the most enduring images in English art, all from a small house on Hercules Road, North Lambeth. Jon Newman, Lambeth historian and archivist, talks about the extraordinary work of the man, arguably Lambeth's greatest resident, and the particular importance of Lambeth, the place, to shaping his art.
