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.
There are two very large open spaces in the Borough, viz.
Clissold Park and the area of the New River Water deposition
ponds, filter beds and works.
