Craft Court
Description
Craft Court, the offices of the Shepherds Bush Housing Group, was named after William and Ellen Craft. The Crafts escaped enslavement in the United States, travelling to Britain to avoid recapture following the introduction of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. They travelled the country giving lectures, and in 1860 published a narrative of their escape, Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom.
