RT @hackneygazette: Pedestrian hit by bus in Stoke Newington has died hackneygazette.co.uk/news/pedestrian_hit_…

Paradise Bridge, over the New River, was located on Church St. very close to where the 393 bus stop before Green Lanes is today (South side)

Park Lane (later Clissold Crescent) bridge over the New River (next to the New River Cafe) was demolished when the road was widened in 1931

RT @museumchurch: Thanks to the I Lived in Stoke Newington Facebook group for help tracking down a pic of Clissold Park's old railway. http…

@globemakers me too. They should bring it back along with the original path of the New River along Church St! plus the bridge;)

Fleetwood House, a 60-room mansion was erected on the site of today's Fleetwood St near the fire station in c.1634 by Sir Thomas Hartopp

Stoke Newington train station opened in 1872.

Land east of the high street and SN common was made more valuable from 1872 by the opening of tramways and Stoke Newington station

Stoke Newington station was rebuilt as a plain glass and steel box in 1975

1872 marks the transformation of SN from countryside village to suburb with the demolition of Fleetwood House and opening of a train station

@losturbanrivers @TheoJThomas Any idea where the Hackney Bridge was located?

RT @lickedspoon: Do come to Stoke Newington Christmas carols by the pink tree at the fire station on Thursday at 6.30. http://t.co/R2gA6gwh…

Stoke Newington station, which opened in 1872 prompted a renewed flurry of development in the area.

A wooden Stanford Bridge, which existed by 1675 was replaced by a two-arched brick bridge in 1826. The Brook was culverted over in the 1850s

N16 Paradise - Two houses were called Paradise House, there was Paradise Bridge and Paradise Row was the row of houses facing the park.

@thisismikehall I imagine the night bus then would have been quite an interesting ride, especially on weekends!

Stoke Newington police station was attacked during the 1981 riots

@tara_mulholland @stephenkb It will still be the current Stoke Newington Station (built 1872). The service will switch toTfL Overground.

Stoke Newington station (built 1872) to become Stoke Newington Overground station by 2015 standard.co.uk/news/transport…

Stoke Newington station's previous facelift was in 1975 when it was rebuilt as a plain glass and steel box.

Certain comments about the SN Overground stn suggest some are unaware SN has had a train station since 1872, which would be 'Overgrounded'

Stoke Newington Common became publicly-owned property in 1872, when the railway further split the largest piece of common into two.

The Hackney Archives are by Dalston Junction Station and viewing the collection is free. Very easy to get to and the space is great.

@ellyob I especially can't see a 2-way between Northwold Rd and Brooke Rd. Quite narrow as it is for a 1-way with buses and parked cars.

@Gooner_AK And the Hackney Brook and Stamford Bridge were still around

@merici Notice the original station which opened in 1872 at the back. It was rebuilt as a plain glass and steel box in 1975.

RT @PhilipArdagh: When I lived in Stoke Newington in the early 1980s, Hammersmith was the other end of the 73 bus route. Still feels like t…

Stoke Newington Common became a protected public open space in 1872 following the construction of a railway through it.

@KarenLawler Well, it became one of the original London metropolitan boroughs in 1900. Unofficially, 1872 train connected it to London :)

@jamesjamesbrown The park had features like the round wooden bandstand with music and dancing, the boating pond, a small train for kids...

Here it is: facebook.com/TheHistoryOfSt… RT @AlastairDuncan: @HistoryOfStokey there was also a train

The course of the Hackney Brook through Stoke Newington. Stamford Bridge over the river was opposite the cemetery. highburywildlifegarden.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

The 73 bus used to go from Stoke Newington Common to Richmond via Oxford Street and Knightsbridge.

The 73 bus route was established at the end of WW1 and ran from Stoke Newington to Richmond, journey costing one shilling (via @LynRennick)

@sonofspeke @Louiestowell In 1958 the 106 Bus route was from Finsbury Park to Barking via Stoke Newington

@londonunite @kmflett Do you remember when the current route to Victoria Station was introduced?

@opinion8ed_dyke It's a great place. Worth also visiting the Hackney Archives by Dalston Junction station.

Handling original documents with drawings from 1830 of Stoke Newington Bridge on the High St opposite future cemetery. Extraordinary.

@TheFoxReformed By the way, the stop marks where Paradise Bridge was over the New River. Park Lane Bridge was very close to it.

@ukwilliams1 what about the police station and people referring to Stoke Newington as Stokey?

@VictorianLondon @cmccrudden I hope one day to find a drawing of Stamford Bridge on SN High St where it crossed the brook opposite cemetery.

@Huriye Church St Fire Station? I was told pre-1976 it was a row of houses, purely residential.

@duncr it moved to a new building in Dalston Junction very close to the station a couple of years ago. Worth a visit.

@philrichardsuk @nlygo there was a proposal in 1901 to build a tube station in Stoke Newington but it got rejected in parliament in 1902

In Feb 1939 the 49 tram became the 649 trolleybus (now 149 bus). The 53 tram became the 653 trolleybus, now the 253 bus (via Paul Farren)

@londiner @GE0RGYGIRL Perhaps like the oval wooden bandstand, boating lake, train, fishing in the river etc. it’s part of the park’s past?
