Highbury Park is a 5-10 minute walk further north which includes street frontages formed by locally-owned shops, pharmacies, restaurants and pubs. To the south of the site, St Paul’s Road, Highbury Corner and Upper Street offer a wider variety of cafe’s, furniture stores, local council offices and church services at Union Chapel.

A few buildings are shown intermittently along the western side of the road on plots that are separate to the rear gardens of Highbury Place town houses. Highbury Fields is yet to be developed as an open space. 6.2 1871 Map The 1871 map shows the rear gardens of Highbury Place properties extended back to Corsica Street (then named Highbury Mews). The North London Railway Line is to the south and London Fields has become more defined. 6.3 1908 Map The current street layout of Baalbec Road, Calabria Road, Liberia Road and Corsica Street has been developed. The railway tunnel to the north of the site is now in place. A short terrace of buildings in the proximity of the site is evident. Map A: 1827 Map Map B: 1871 Map The changing in character of the street by the presence of larger buildings is reflected in its change in name from ‘Mews’ to ‘Street.’ 6.4 1971 Map The garages layout has been in place since some time between 1946 and 1954. An electricity substation borders the site to the south and a car servicing garage was located approximately 35m further south. By 1962 the site immediately to the north of the site was developed with a builder’s yard, although this was no longer present from 1971. A large ambulance station occupies the full street block from the corner of Corsica Street and Calabria Road to Highbury Fields. By 2001 the site to the north was redeveloped with a three-storey terraced housing block fronting Corsica Street and a second four-storey terraced housing block fronting Calabria Road. The site has remained in the same layout through to the present day. The welfare centre opposite has since been demolished as part of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link development and a four storey residential development has recently been constructed in its place.
