Edward Henry Windred (1875 – 1953)

Edward Henry Windred (EHW) had been a miner and only in later life came to live in the New Cross area

Throughout his life EHW’s occupation seems to have varied from being “bricklayer” and “hairdresser”. It is not clear how he could have alternated between two such different trades, and at the same time develop his painting skills, but somehow he managed it.
