THE BOROUGH OF STOKE NEWINGTON.
The Borough of Stoke Newington is mainly a residential area, a
considerable proportion of the population being employed elsewhere.
The residences comprise those of the well-to-do and the tenements of
the low-wage earner. There is no special industry carried on in the
Borough, the factories and workshops are for the most part small,
and the work engaged upon is of various kinds. A notable feature
of the Southern portion of the Borough has been the considerable
amount of "tenementation" within recent years of houses which
were originally built for, and occupied by, one family.
