RT @holland_tom: My visit to Stoke Newington Town Hall much enlivened...

'Stoke Newington, The Free Library'. Opened in 1892 and extended several times since, with the latest extension added in 1937 as part of the new municipal hub in Church St that included the new Town Hall. The WW1 Memorial Hall was built in 1923 and later became the new entrance.

1938 - Meeting in Stoke Newington Town Hall regarding rescue efforts to bring refugee Jewish children to from Nazi Germany to the UK. Known as the Kindertransport, it was an organised rescue effort that took place during the nine months prior to the outbreak of WW2

The Reference Library, built in 1937 as an extension to the Stoke Newington Public Library when the new Town Hall was built. The library opened in 1892 and was also extended in 1904 and 1925. The WW1 Memorial Hall opened in 1923. I don’t know when it became the new entrance.

Spotted last weekend in the former Stoke Newington Reference Library building. It was built 1935-7 as part of the development of the site which included a new Town Hall, replacing the one in Milton Grove. It was the site it the Tudor Manor House and later 9 grand houses.

Just bought this ‘Official Guide to Stoke Newington’. Love the cover design and I imagine it was published shortly after the new Town Hall was completed in 1937. These official guides offer information about the borough’s history, amenities, stats, achievements and much more!

Then & Now: Edward’s Lane in 1899 before the library extension was built in 1904. The street is named after Job Edwards, who built much of Church Row (11 houses where the Town Hall and library are now). Church Row was pulled down in 1935 to make way for a new Town Hall.
