 Ian Doucet Added: 28 Jul 2023 16:31 GMT | Campbell Road, N4 Robert James, a great-uncle of mine, was born at 90 Campbell Rd, on 17 March 1899, youngest of Christina James (nee Potter) my great grandmother’s 6 children. Every child was born at a different Islington address. Seems like with the move to Campbell Rd they werent going up in the world, and a Joseph Hickie or Hicks was living with them. Anyone know of any photos of Campbell Rd at this time? Reply |

 Alison Added: 26 Jun 2022 18:20 GMT | On the dole in north London When I worked at the dole office in Medina Road in the 1980s, "Archway" meant the social security offices which were in Archway Tower at the top of the Holloway Road. By all accounts it was a nightmare location for staff and claimants alike. This was when Margaret Thatcher’s government forced unemployment to rise to over 3 million (to keep wages down) and computerised records where still a thing of the future. Our job went from ensuring that unemployed people got the right sort and amount of benefits at the right time, to stopping as many people as possible from getting any sort of benefit at all. Britain changed irrevocably during this period and has never really recovered. We lost the "all in it together" frame of mind that had been born during the second world war and became the dog-eat-dog society where 1% have 95% of the wealth and many people can’t afford to feed their children. For me, the word Archway symbolises the land of lost content. Reply |
  KJH Added: 7 Mar 2023 23:03 GMT | Andover Road, N7 Edit: John Hawkins died 1959 (not 1957). Earliest date I have found for him at 92 Andover Road is 1935 on the Electoral Register. Reply |

 Michael Added: 20 Sep 2023 21:10 GMT | Momentous Birth! I was born in the upstairs front room of 28 Tyrrell Avenue in August 1938. I was a breach birth and quite heavy ( poor Mum!). My parents moved to that end of terrace house from another rental in St Mary Cray where my three year older brother had been born in 1935. The estate was quite new in 1938 and all the properties were rented. My Father was a Postman. I grew up at no 28 all through WWII and later went to Little Dansington School Reply |

 Lady Townshend Added: 8 Sep 2023 16:02 GMT | Tenant at Westbourne (1807 - 1811) I think that the 3rd Marquess Townshend - at that time Lord Chartley - was a tenant living either at Westbourne Manor or at Bridge House. He undertook considerable building work there as well as creating gardens. I am trying to trace which house it was. Any ideas gratefully received Reply |

But the station was not opened until 3 February 1936 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER, successor to the GER). Source: Roding Valley tube station - Wikipedia Reply |
