On June 30, 2018January 3, 2025 By amirdIn Uncategorized

I contributed the history section to a beautifully illustrated map of Clissold Park. The map was produced by the Clissold Park User Group and illustrated by Anna Hymas. You can buy the map in Clissold House cafe.

George Shillibeer’s ‘school bus’, regarded as the world’s first, was commissioned in 1827 by the Newington Academy for Girls in Stoke Newington. The horse-drawn vehicle seated 25 pupils and carried them from Stoke Newington to the Quaker meeting house in Gracechurch Street in the City. Then & Now: Stoke Newington Church St. The Red Lion was pulled down and rebuilt in 1924 when Lordship Rd and Church St were widened. Clissold House in 1876, when it was the private residence of Rev. Augustus Clissold and his wife Eliza. The house was built in 1790 by for local merchant Jonathan Hoare. Looking south along Lordship Road from Lordship Park. St Mary’s Lodge is just out of view on the right, while a housing block now stands on the left. Abney Congregationalist Chapel was located on Stoke Newington Church Street, opposite Abney Park Cemetery. It sustained bomb damage during World War II and later demolished. The Woodman pub, 190 Boleyn Road opposite The Army & Navy. Closed and converted to residential property. Photo by Laurence Fryer. The Victorian houses on the corner of Stoke Newington Church Street and Green Lanes were originally known as Newington Hall Villas, named after Newington Hall, a detached villa that stood on the site from 1821 to 1876. A couple of ‘Newington Hall Villas’ name tablets can still be seen there. Stoke Newington Rail Station. It opened in 1872. The ticket office was rebuilt 1975. Stoke Newington’s World War I ‘Ambulance Day’ charity flag/badge. A. Pagliaro’s shop at the Corner of Nevill Road (no. 11) and Clonbrock Road, Stoke Newington. 50 Fairholt Road, Stoke Newington. Over the past few days I’ve been studying around 70 documents from the Clissold Park User Group archive, most relating to the long campaign to restore Clissold House during the 1990s. Clissold Park postcards, 2015. Clissold Park. Clissold Park.
