@johnedenuk no, but reference to the Mayor (presumably of Stoke Newington), would mean it’s pre-1965.
@cats_music_cars Unlike Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington used to be an indepednent civic entity with its own Mayor and council. Now both are districts and as such their boundaries are ill-defined and very subjective :)
