I’ve recently Nspoken of the V1 rocket that hit Contents Compton Terrace in 1944 and the 75th anniversary of Neville Chamberlain’s broadcast in 1939 announcing Britain and News 4 Germany were at war. I’ve talked about Hints of Copenhagen House, green plaque winners, World War I commemorations, nonconformists in 1914, torn between a Smithfield is saved and the Routemaster diamond jubilee strong pacifist tradition and a feeling that they should fight in World War 1. Lettersandyourquestions 6 The first two were the most moving, as A munitions factory, deco doors, a mystery memorial and anti-slavery campaigners I spoke to people who remember those events at the same time as to those for BeastlyIslington 10 whom this is history. Today, it is difficult How animals shaped Islington’s economic, social and cultural history for young people to imagine the whole family earnestly gathered round the TheLondonbusthatwenttowar 12 radio, listening to news and propaganda. A rare restored B-type bus is unveiled before its World War 1 tour There is a much greater interest in recording oral history than there was a Theemigrants’friendandthenursingpioneer 14 few years ago. We have Pathé News, but A mystery is finally solved there is an urgent need to listen to and record the memories of those who were ResearchingIslington 16 there as children. The knowledge and abilities needed to answer Journal readers’ questions It is striking how language alters in such a short time. I’ve never heard Flightsoffancy 18 anyone younger than me refer to “the evil The extraordinary aerodrome planned for King’s Cross hun” or “the Boche”. In memorials, we no longer inscribe glory. The language of AnovelwaytoviewchangingShoreditch 19 reconciliation seems to have taken hold. Architects build a camera obscura on their roof We’ll talk about the influence of language on our reading of history in November.

  • Historic Maps and Plans of Islington (1553-1894)
    Mapping Islington Historic maps and plans of Islington (1553-1894) Mapping Islington showcases a selection of maps and plans relating to the three former historic parishes that now form the London Borough of Islington. Maps are a window into the past. They provide historical evidence and offer a valuable insight to bygone streets, industries and landscapes. They are also an important source for local history research and help us to understand the development and changes that have shaped the Plan of parish of St Mary, character and identity of our borough. Islington and its environs. Surveyed by Edward Baker The display’s earliest map dates from mid-16th Century (c.1793) when Islington was a rural village outside of the City of London, ending with a survey published during the late-Victorian era when the area had become a densely populated and urbanised district of north London. The London Borough of Islington was formed in 1965 when the Metropolitan boroughs of Islington and Finsbury merged. In 2019 the borough covers an area of 14.86 km2 and stretches from Highgate in the north to the City of London borders in the south. Before 1900 Islington was historically administered in three distinct civil parishes: • St Mary Islington (north and central) • St James Clerkenwell (south-west) • St Luke Old Street (south-east) The Copperplate Map of London, c.1553-59 Moorfields The Copperplate Map of London is a large-scale plan Frans Franken of the city and its immediate environs. It was originally Museum of London created in 15 printed copperplate sections, of which only three are still in existence.
