In 1900, under the London Government Act of 1899, the old SN parish was united with South Hornsey in Stoke Newington Metropolitan Borough
@maryonthegreen I know but to the best of my knowledge the parish boundaries didn’t extend beyond those ones. South Hornsey parish…
@LynRennick Thanks, though wasn't the church technically in South Hornsey detached rather than Newington Green?
1889 - Buying Clissold Park: City Corp. £47K Met. Board of Works £25K Stoke Newington £10K, South Hornsey £6K Hackney £5K Islington £2.5K
The need to raise £25K started a year long heated negotiations with the parishes of Islington, Hackney, South Hornsey and Stoke Newington.
Town Hall Approach between Albion Rd & Milton Grove denotes the location of SN’s 1st Town Hall on Milton Grove, originally South Hornsey’s.
Interesting. South Hornsey Parish had a few detached sections in Stoke Newington till 1900 when they were absorbed into the new SN Borough x.com/ConorMuller/st…
@jonburkeUK @BBCCountryfile @WildWoodberry Pre-1900 South Hornsey Parish had a few detached sections within Stoke Newington. See the ward map.
@steveone111 Yes. It was originally South Hornsey’s Town Hall and when it became part of SN Borough it was the used by SN. Too far from the centre.
Note various detached sections of South Hornsey parish. These were absorbed into the newly created Metropolitan Borough of SN in 1900. x.com/HistoryOfStoke…

One of several Stoke Newington Borough street nameplates that are still around. The Metropolitan Borough was created in 1900 along the boundaries of the old Stoke Newington parish and detached parts of South Hornsey parish. Amalgamated into Hackney along with Shoreditch in 1965.
The boundaries of the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington, which was created in 1900 and absorbed into Hackney in 1965. The borough’s boundaries were mainly those of the old Manor plus sections of South Hornsey parish in the south and north-west. A10 was the eastern border.
A foundation stone is the sole remnant of the South Hornsey Town Hall in Milton Grove, which became the first Town Hall of the new Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900. Parts of South Hornsey were absorbed into the new borough. The Church St Town Hall was built 1935-7
Clissold Park cost £11,000,000 in today’s money. Eventually that amount was raised from: The Metropolitan Board of Works The Charity Commissioners Stoke Newington South Hornsey Hackney Islington x.com/historyofstoke…
The remnants of a painted street sign in Wilberforce Road (N4) when the street was in the parish of South Hornsey. This part of South Hornsey was absorbed into the newly formed Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900.
@highamnews Stoke Newington’s first Town Hall in Milton Grove was originally South Hornsey’s
@highamnews Btw, the fact the western half of Clissold Park was in South Hornsey meant the Metropolitan Board of Works wouldn’t consider purchasing it for the public as SH wasn’t in boundaries of the metropolis. This made the purchase plan very complicated for J. Beck and the ca…

@N4StroudGreen @highamnews Interestingly the ward also included the two detached portions, which historically were detached portions of the parish of Hornsey and later on the local administrative district of South Hornsey.
This similar sign in Wilberforce Road (Stoke Newington N4), shows what the original Victoria Grove would have looked like when South Hornsey was also included x.com/historyofstoke… x.com/HistoryOfStoke…

A faded street sign in Shakspeare Walk opposite the Shakespeare pub from a time when the street was called Shakespeare Road and was in an enclave of South Hornsey Parish, one of a few in St Mary Parish Stoke Newington. These detached sections added to the new SN Borough in 1900
@VictorianLondon @highamnews Thanks! That area of SN was one of the South Hornsey Detached sections within SN. One for the local history pub quiz! The hardcore version!
1884 South Hornsey Local Board drain cover in Finsbury Park Road/Somerfield Road N4. The Brownswood Park area along with other sections of South Hornsey north of Newington Green were incorporated into the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington which was created in 1900.
@RobertElms It’s position is where the boundary was between St Mary Stoke Newington parish and South Hornsey. 1790 was the year Johantan Hoare had the house built. Originally named Paradise House.

@LynRennick @ghostsigns @realnickperry If that’s the case, then it’s the only such surviving painted sign in that style I’ve seen and it’ll be consistent with similar painted street signs in south SN that have South Hornsey below the street name.

Multiple layers are barely visible in this 19th century painted street sign in Brighton Road. Here's my digital reconstruction. This section of South Hornsey Parish was incorporated into the newly formed Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900.

Just spotted a South Hornsey Local Board (SHLB) curb inlet from 1878 in Mountgrove Rd/Wilberforce Rd, N4. This part of South Hornsey, along with others north of Newington Green were incorporated into the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington when it was formed in 1900.

'Borough of Stoke Newington' street sign in Mountgrove Road N5. Originally in South Hornsey Pairsh, this part of South Hornsey, along with others north of Newington Green were incorporated into the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington when it was formed in 1900.
My digital restoration of a painted street sign in Finsbury Road N4/Mountgrove Road N5. This part of South Hornsey, along with others north of Newington Green were incorporated into the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington when it was formed in 1900.
@urbanpastoral There are a few of this ghost signs along the former border between the parishes of Stoke Newington and South Hornsey. In some cases it’s clear the sign was repainted without South Hornsey (after 1900), though it’s still visible sometimes underneath.
Two Stoke Newington Borough boundary markers from 1901 at the junction of Blackstock Rd, N4 and Mountgrove Rd, N5. The Brownswood Park area, and a large area north of Newington Green were part of the South Hornsey Local Board. Absorbed into the newly formed SN Borough in 1900.
@alxndrlov @JeyyLowe Hi. Curious to know who ‘they’ were and what happened in 1890. I wasn’t aware plans to form the metropolitan boroughs started that early. Also, SN’s first Town Hall was originally South Hornsey’s and located in Milton Grove. The one in Church St was built 19…

Spotted today only the 9th vintage street nameplate in this style in Stoke Newington. Adolphus Rd, in the Brownswood Park area near Finsbury Park, was originally in the parish of South Hornsey. Parts of South Hornsey were incorporated into the new Stoke Newington Borough in 1900.
I was alerted today to an impressive 1887 South Hornsey parish boundary marker in Palatine Avenue. I stumbled upon a smaller one closer to SN Road on my way in. Parts of South Hornsey (north of Newington Green) were incorporated into the new Stoke Newington Borough in 1900.
Stoke Newington Borough's first Town Hall in Milton Grove. Originally the Town Hall of the South Hornsey Local Board, which had detached sections it administered within the parish of Stoke Newington. Those were incorporated into the newly formed SN Borough in 1900.

Remnants of the South Hornsey Local Board, which governed Brownswood Park and exclaves within Stoke Newington north of Newington Green can be seen in ‘ghost’ street signs like this one in Wilberforce Rd, N4. Most of the South Hornsey area was absorbed into SN Borough in 1900.
A remnant in 155-169 Manor Road of the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington. The small borough was created in 1900 along the boundaries of the ancient parish of Stoke Newington and the South Hornsey Local Board. It was absorbed along with Shoreditch into Hackney in 1965.
Wilberforce Road looking north with Finsbury Park Methodist Church in the distance. The road was in the Brownswood Park area, which was within the South Hornsey Local Board in the 19th century. The area was incorporated into the new Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900
Finsbury Park Road. The road was in the Brownswood Park area, which was within the South Hornsey Local Board in the 19th century. The area was incorporated into the new Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900.
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

@DrHeadgear I find it comes to many people as a surprise that area was part of Stoke Newington when it was an independent borough. That area was originally within South Hornsey parish and later South Hornsey Local Board. Incrporated into the new Stoke Newingon Borough in 1900.
London Metropolitan Boroughs (1900-1965). The boundaries of Stoke Newington Borough were largely those of the ancient parish plus detached sections of South Hornsey Local Board like Brownswood Park and areas north of Newington Green.
@CaramelBear81 The north end of Newington Green was, the rest was in Islington. St Matthias I’m pretty sure was very close to the the South Hornsey detached area, but not included in it.
@CaramelBear81 No, it was within Islington. St Matthias Road was the boundary between Islington, Stoke Newington and the detached section of South Hornsey.
@CaramelBear81 See here. Wordsworth Rd was the border so Butterfield Green is in the area where the detached South Hornsey section was. However, by the time Butterfield Green was created the area was no longer South Hornsey. Those SH sections were enclaves within SN parish.
@CaramelBear81 “In 1865, the southern part of the parish, consisting of the Brownswood Park area and the detached pieces surrounded by the parishes of Hackney and Stoke Newington adopted the Local Government Act 1858, and formed the South Hornsey Local Board.” https://t.co/HDUHu…

@drewerydyke It’s actually two layers. You can just about see where it originally had South Hornsey as a 2nd line.
Wilberforce Road between Seven Sisters and Mountgrove Road is named after Willima Wilberforce. Orignally within South Hornsey, the street and surrounding area of Brownswood Park was incorporated into the Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900. x.com/HistoryOfStoke…
@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)

There a only a handful of surviving Parish of St Mary Islington boundary markers along what were its boundaries with Stoke Newington and South Hornsey, which became the Borough of SN in 1900. They seem almost camouflaged now. Can you spot all of them in these photos?

Blackstock Road, Stoke Newington. The east side of Blackstock Road between Seven Sisters Road and Mountgrove Road, originally within South Hornsey, was in the Borough of Stoke Newington (1900-65).
@AMcNeillPeel I’ve seen it used in an online map a while ago, though I don’t remember which one. Given the South Hornsey Local Board was abolished 120 years ago I seriously doubt anyone refer to it today in any other context other than historical one.
@AMcNeillPeel South Hornsey was made of three areas. See here: x.com/historyofstoke… x.com/HistoryOfStoke…

The only surviving Victorian porch tiles in Finsbury Park Road as far as I can tell. Finsbury Park Road, originally within the South Hornsey Local Board, as part of the Brownwood Park area, was incorporated into the former Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900.
@walk_hackney 1900. The areas that were administered by the South Hornsey Local Board were incorporated into the newly formed Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington. They were Brownswood Park district, half of Clissold Park and two detached sections.
@walk_hackney No. 12-13 were administered from 1865-1900 by the South Hornsey Local Board together with areas marked in the other map. I created this Google Map to show the area of the South Hornsey Local Board google.com/maps/d/edit?mi… https://t.co/DuLMOeIMc3
@walk_hackney Almost :) the detached part of St Mary Stoke Newington wasn’t surrounded by South Hornsey, unlike the two South Hornsey Detached sections that were enclaves within St Mary Stoke Newington.
@highamnews @DrCSyn @walk_hackney From what I’ve read, the South Hornsey bits (Brownswood Park, western half of Clissold Park and the two detached sections) were so far away from the centre of the parish they were considered a separate entity for administrative purposes at least.
@highamnews @DrCSyn @walk_hackney “The district was formed in 1865 when the Local Government Act 1858 was adopted in the southern part of the parish of Hornsey. South Hornsey Local Board was formed to govern the area.”
@highamnews @DrCSyn @walk_hackney This explains the ‘branded’ SHLB (South Hornsey Local Board) drain covers you can see in parts of south Stoke Newington
@highamnews @DrCSyn @walk_hackney I wonder if South Hornsey was within the metropolis would it have been lumped with Stoke Newington into the Hackney District Board of Works, rather than become a very small administrative unit in the form of the South Hornsey Local Board.
@highamnews @DrCSyn @walk_hackney I was toying with idea a while back of giving a short talk about South Hornsey and how it existed so closely alongside Stoke Newington, though it may be too niche even by my standards! :) I wonder how South Hornseians(??) felt about being absorb…

@highamnews @DrCSyn @walk_hackney Public Baths and public wash-house next to the former Town Hall of South Hornsey Local Board. Not surprising given it was a Local Board of Health.
@philip_cousins @walk_hackney @VCH_London Dealt with in what sense? In the case of South Hornsey, they were absorbed into the Borough of Stoke Newington alongside sections of the parish that weren’t detached when the borough was created in 1900.
@drewerydyke Quite expected actually as the north side of Palatine Avenue where the marker is was the boundary of South Hornsey Detached. There’s another marker behind the gates further down.
1878 South Hornsey Local Board (SHLB) kerb drain outlet in Queen’s Drive. The SHLB was a local government unit created in 1865, which administered the Brownswood Park district and areas in south Stoke Newington that were incorporated into the newly formed Borough of SN in 1900.
1884 South Hornsey Local Board (SHLB) kerb drain outlet in Finsbury Park Rd. The SHLB was a local government unit created in 1865, which administered the Brownswood Park district and areas in south Stoke Newington that were incorporated into the newly formed Borough of SN in 1900
1887 Hornsey Parish boundary marker in Palatine Avenue. Hornsey Parish had detached areas in south Stoke Newington, which were administered by an independent district (South Hornsey Local Board). It was incorporated into the newly formed Borough of Stoke Newington in 1900.

Most of the streets were in Stoke Newington, South Hornsey and Islington as those were the local authorities closest to the park. Hackney got involved in the campaign later on when it became clear Islington wasn't willing to contribute the expected amount of £10,000 giving £2,500

@walk_hackney @highamnews @FootwaysLondon There are HBW (Hackney Board of Works), HV (Hackney Vestry) and HBC around from different periods. In certain parts of Stoke Newington that used to be administered by the South Hornsey Local Board between 1865-1900 there’s also SHLB.
Map of Hornsey Parish. The areas marked 12 and 13 (bottom right) were incorporated into the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington in 1899 along with two detached portions of the parish in south Stoke Newington. They formed the South Hornsey Local Board in 1865-99.
