St George Hanover Square
St George Hanover Square was a civil parish created in 1724 in the Liberty of Westminster, Middlesex, which was later part of the metropolitan area of London, England. The creation of the parish accompanied the building of St George's, Hanover Square, constructed by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches to meet the demands of a growing population. The parish was formed from part of the quite early medieval (in legal parlance called ancient) parish of Saint Martin in the Fields in the consequent Liberty of Westminster, probably one parish at the time of the Norman conquest, and in the hundred of Ossulstone. It included some of the most fashionable areas of what later became the West End of London, including Belgravia and Mayfair. Civil parish administration, known as a select vestry, was dominated by members of the nobility and landed gentry until the parish adopted the Vestries Act 1831. The vestry was reformed again in 1855 by the Metropolis Management Act. In 1889 t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was formed in 1958 in order to publish research on race relations worldwide, and in 1972 was transformed into an "anti-racist think tank".

He was the brother of Cecil Kellaway. He also worked as a producer in vaudeville and helped run the Talent School at Cinesound Productions. Kellaway played a wide variety of roles for Ken Hall, ranging from a gay floorwalker in ''Dad and Dave Come to Town'' (1938) to a magician in ''Let George Do It (1938 film), Let George Do It'' (1938). Hall wrote in his memoirs that the actor "was never Alec Kellaway in any of them – a contrast to many actors, who play themselves in whatever part you give them. Alec always studied the part, got to really understand the person he was to play, then worried about how he would walk, talk, think."Ken G. Hall, ''Directed by Ken G. Hall'', Lansdowne Press, 1977 p150 Selected filmography * ''Lovers and Luggers'' (1937) * ''The Broken Melody (1937 film), The Broken M ...
