@highamnews Stoke Newington’s first Town Hall in Milton Grove was originally South Hornsey’s
@highamnews For some reason it was in the detached portion between Allen Road and Matthias Road. Note Milton Grove was originally Milton Road.
Then & Now: Stoke Newington’s first Town Hall in Milton Grove (formerly Milton Road). It was originally South Hornsey’s and became the Town Hall of the newly created Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900. The Town Hall in Church St was completed in 1937.

@VictorianLondon From the big bus that’s going to be parked outside the old Town Hall!
@jonburkeUK @lccmunicipal Though I cannot think of any other physical place the 1900-34 coat of arms is visible. Would have been quite prominent I’d imagine in the original Town Hall in Milton Grove, but it’s long gone.

Ghost street sign in Milton Grove, showing it was originally called Milton Road. Quite a few streets in Stoke Newington were renamed over the years, often to avoid confusion with other London streets with the same name. Traces of an older sign just about visible underneath.
Spotted another VR postbox in Oldfield Road/Kynaston Road (VR = Installed during the era of Queen Victoria) Also a couple of GR’s from the era of King George VI (Barbauld Road and Milton Grove). The R stands for Rex, which is King in Latin or Regina if it’s a Queen.
@walk_hackney This one opened in 1925. Only other one in the former borough was in Milton Grove next to the old Town Hall. Clissold Road was not public baths as far as I know, only swimming baths but will need to double check. @LynRennick would know.

Judging by the remnant of an old bracket on top of the pillar post box in Milton Grove/Allen Road I suspect it was originally a blue Air Mail post box. These were introduced between 1930 and 1938. They proved to be too costly and were painted red to be used as regular post box.

66 Milton Grove (formerly Milton Rd). ‘Belmont House’ just about visible on the two pillars. Original decorative ironwork still in place. The road was built in the 1850s as part of the Albert Town development in south Stoke Newington, in a detached section of South Hornsey Parish

@burnley66 Those bits of South Hornesy became a local government district - South Hornsey Local Board. Its Town Hall was in Milton Road (later Grove) and it was Stoke Newington’s first Town Hall from 1900 till the one in Church St was completed in 1937.
One of 8 surviving 1930s street signs in this style. There’s a version that includes ‘Borough of Stoke Newington’ and it was used only along the borough’s boundaries. Milton Grove (formerly Milton Rd) was the site of Stoke Newington’s first Town Hall (originally South Hornsey’s)

The site of the future Butterfield Green in 1946. A common misconception is Butterfield Green was developed on a bomb site when in fact, bomb damage was small and limited to a part of Milton Grove and Shakspeare Walk. The houses where BG is now were cleared in late 70s-early 80s
