One of my husband's great grandfather's was a wealthy silversmith living at 120 Highbury New Park Islington in 1881. I've just seen a 2005 planning application for the property. I wonder if you know it and could tell me what it looks like? Louise

If no one gets back to you, then perhaps you can get hold of this? Tanis HINCHCLIFFE (1981), Highbury New Park: A Nineteenth-Century Middle-Class Suburb, in: The London Journal Vol 7, p29-44. If you google ''The London Journal'' there are lots of references to getting back issues. Sarah
