Comparing the size of the small houses on Barn St with those of the surrounding streets it's clear why it was declared a Slum Clearance Area in 1934. It was altered considerably along with Edward's Lane, Lordship Terrace and Lordship Rd when Denman House flats were built in 1937.

I contributed an article to the upcoming edition of @HACKNEYMAGAZINE about photos of Stoke Newington taken in the 30’s by Church St shopkeeper Alec Guttridge. These important photos document the Barn St ‘slum’ before the street was redeveloped as Denman House. Out on the 8th!

‘Stoke Newington Borough Council 1936’ mosaic plaque denotes when Lordship South Estate on Lordship Terrace and Lordship Road was built. A year later Denman House flats opposite were built on the site of small houses that were declared a ‘Slum Clearance Area’.

James Shirley Hibberd (1825-90), one of the most popular and successful gardening writers of the Victorian era, lived in Lordship Terrace, Stoke Newington. In 1936 Lordship South Estate was built on the site of the street’s original houses.

BINGO!! Just found with help from @AbneyParkN16 the grave of Sir Herbert John Ormond (1867–1934), a local draper who was elected Mayor of Stoke Newington 11 times. Ormond House in Lordship South Estate is named after him.

No. 10 Barn Street on the corner of Lordship Terrace. The street consisted of old and very small houses, housing the poorest families in the parish and later borough. In the early 1930s it was declared a ‘Slum Clearance Area’ and Denman House flats were built on the site.

A view of a much changed Barn Street from Lordship Terrace before Denman House was built with Church St in the background. The street was one of the poorest in SN and was declared a ‘Slum Clearance Area’ in 1934. The long-gone Falcon pub at 151 Church St visible in the background

Denman House, Stoke Newington. Built in 1937 on the site of small, old houses along Lordship Road, Lordship Terrace and Barn St. These houses were home to some of the poorest in the borough and were likely dilapidated and lacking modern essentials.

@CaronLipman This is the top of Edward’s Lane where Denman House was built. Lordship South Estate in the background. This photo was also taken by local shopkeeper Alexander Guttridge who grew up in Barn St and photographed the streets with the old houses before they were demolis…

Lordship South Estate, Lordship Terrace in 1955. Interesting to see that the housing estates built in the 1930s didn’t have the tall surrounding walls, which are there now. The street feels more open in this photo, though I privacy and security became an issue at some point.

Denman House, Lordship Road. Built in 1937 on the site of small, old houses in Lordship Road, Lordship Terrace, Barn Street and Edward’s Lane. The houses were built in the early 19th century and by the 1930s were likely dilapidated and considered inadequate for ‘modern living’.

Easy to miss: “This wall is the property of the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington” in Lordship South Estate. I’ve only seen one like it. The estate was built in stages between 1934-6. The Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington was formed in 1900 and abolished in 1965.

Red marks housing developments built on a bomb site. Wholesale housing clearance in the 70s for example led to the development of Yorshire Grove Estate and Shellgrove Estate in the south. Lordship South Estate was built in the mid 30s and the Woodberry Down Estate in 1948-62.

Mashup: Edward's Lane/Lordship Terrace c.1935 shortly before demolition. Houses on the east side of Edward’s Lane near Lordship Terrace were pulled down in 1937 along with other small, old houses in Lordship Terrace, Barn Street and Lordship Road to make way for Denman House.

Stumbled upon this faded sign on Denman House in Edward’s Lane: “Hawkers & Cycling Prohibited”. It likely dates back to 1937 when Denman House was built on the site of small early 19th century houses in Edward’s Lane, Lordship Terrace and Lordship Road.

Manton House in Stoke Newington Church St, built in the 30s, is named after Thomas Manton (1620-1677), Rector of St Mary’s Stoke Newington between 1645 and 1657. He was one of Oliver Cromwell’s main chaplains and later chaplain to King Charles II.

Clissold House, 1845. Built in 1790 for local banker Jonathan Hoare of the Hoare banking dynasty and brother of prominent abolitionist Samuel Hoare Jr. Originally named Paradise House after J. Hoare’s family home in Church St opposite the park where Millington House is now.

“The depreciation of the neighbourhood as a residential area for quiet folk is already great…” Residents of Queen Elizabeth’s Walk in the early 1930s petitioned against a driveway from the narrow road facing the park to the planned Lordship South Estate. (Thanks T. Uprichard)

This picturesque view of Queen Elizabeth’s Walk from 1904, which would have been unchanged in the early 1930s helps to understand why residents of the quiet road petitioned against a driveway from Queen Elizabeth’s Walk to Lordship South Estate. The estate was built during 1933-6
