Stoke Newington Shops<\/strong>: Continuing my walk on Sunday 8th October 1989 which had begun at Seven Sisters Station from where I had walked south down the High Road and the previous post, Church of the Good Shepherd, Synagogue & Stamford Hill<\/a> had ended on Stamford Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Star<\/a>\n<\/div>
Star Mews, Cafe, Windus Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10d-15<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued walking down Stamford Hill, taking a brief look down each side street, but nothing particularly attracted my attention until I reached Windus Road. Some way down this I came to the entrance to Star Mews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The archway to Star Mews is still there between 52 and 54 Windus Road but there is no longer a cafe, the property is now residential with a small walled front garden. Star Mews is one of two mews in the street and leads to two single storey (now with roof windows) in the area behind which were presumably once stables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The houses here are not grand, and I think these were probably built for small businesses who will have had horse-drawn carts for delivery rather than the carriages of mews in grander districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Shops,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Shops, Willow Cottages, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10d-16<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I went back to Stamford Hill and at the entrance to Stoke Newington Station turned into a small pedestrian side-street, Willow Cottages with this row of three shops, one of them Marshall’s School of Motoring so had to take this picture. These are still there beside the new station building, and G’s Car Service is now Ron’s Car Service. – the old station was almost invisible at street level – but this small area has altered so much I can’t be sure. The jewellers is now a hair salon and Marshalls have left the building, now occupied by Ria money transfer and a takeaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Shops,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Shops, Manor Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10e-62<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I crossed the busy A10 Stamford Hill and went down Manor Road opposite where there was this row of shops on the north side. These three shops are single storey buildings, at the end of the two storey buildings of Manor Parade, but seem to have been built in the same style, probably like their larger neighbours in 1906, according to an ornamental date on their gable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site with two large advertising hoardings at right is on the side of the railway line, here in a cutting, and there is be little level land behind these shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stoke
Notices, Manor Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10e-63<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This noticeboard without notices on the top of what was until fairly recently a private hire service office, Hill Cars, is another of the pictures which I used in my web site<\/a>, exhibition and self-published book \u20181989\u2019, ISBN: 978-1-909363-01-4<\/a>, still available, and this picture is from those. The first paragraph refers to the page before this<\/a> one in ‘1989’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Andora,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Andora, Builders Merchants, House, 16, Manor Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10e-64<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The house here is still at 16 Manor Road and is now residential and without the clutter and signage. Andora’s builders yard is now commercial premises on the ground floor with flats above and a vehicle entrance to more in the yard behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"L<\/a>\n<\/div>
L T Locking, Estate Agent, 18, Manor Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10e-65<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This short row of shops was just beyond the builders yard, all at 18 Manor Road, although they seem to have been built at different times. Locking’s estate agency is in a taller and more elegant four storey tower, and the closer building at right was, according to a ghost sign under its first and second floor windows, the DEPOSITORIES of T HARRIS, though his name is not clear. This industrial warehouse<\/a> is now an events and filming venue and was the birthplace of the original TV \u201cDragons Den\u201d where the first season was shot in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Lipman<\/a>\n<\/div>
Lipman Bros, Builders, 18, Manor Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10e-66<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also now I think a filming location as ‘The House Next Door<\/a>‘ (or possibly a part of The Depository’ and that is the next shop.) Earlier it had been home to the curiously named Balloon Lagon (lagon is French for lagoon), which sold odd balloons and then a property agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post at left looks like a lamp post, perhaps for a gas lamp, but could also have simply held an advertising sign. Srill on the pavement it has now lost its upper half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Rabinowitz,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Rabinowitz, Kosher Butcher, 2, Cazenove Rd, Stoke Newington, Hackney, 1989 89-10e-41<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back on the A10, I walked down to the end of Stamford Hill at Cazenove Road, where it becomes Stoke Newington High Street, and went briefly down Cazenove Road and photographed a couple of the shops there. I’d previously photographed Madame Lillie on a walk in July 1989<\/a> so haven’t digitised the picture I took this time, but this one of Rabinowitz, Kosher Butcher & Poulter and The Metaqphysical & Inspirational World Universal Book Shop at 2 and 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I returned to the main road and crossed it to the gates of Abney Park Cemetery where the next post on this walk will begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
