“Whether that was making sure that the Starbucks didn t appear on Primrose Hill village to destroy the heart of the local cafes, or whether it was maintaining any of those local stores, the community centre, the childcare provision in the village. She really got people people to think locally.”
Born and raised in Kensington, Myra later lived in the USA, Australia and Israel, where she met her future husband. The family moved to Primrose Hill in 1978.
Opera, spending time with her grandchildren, and relaxing in the rose gardens of Regent’s Park were among Myra’s favourite hobbies – but she will always be remembered for her lasting impact on Camden’s libraries.
