Manor House, London history

Early development

The area was part of the demesne lands of Stoke Newington Manor. It was known as ‘Berrie Down Wood’ in the seventeenth century and ‘Wood Berry Downs Meadow’ a hundred years later. Building started on Green Lanes with the appearance in 1821 of a large house at a spot that would later be the site of the junction with Woodberry Down (the road) Northumberland House, a three-storeyed building with a pillared entrance, balustrade, and urns on its roof, was completed in 1822. It was then used as a private mental hospital until it was demolished in 1955.

Twentieth-century redevelopment – the Woodberry Down Estate

The LCC compulsorily purchased the area for this purpose in 1934 in order to alleviate chronic housing shortages. Construction began in 1949 and the 57 blocks of flats were completed in 1962. Initially, the estate offered greatly improved living conditions for tenants. However, over time the estate suffered the problems of comparably idealistic, post-war, social housing projects.

1980s squatter community

The squatters at Woodberry Down Estate were predominantly young punks from all over the UK and Ireland. The sharp increase in numbers of squatters has clear links to the huge increases in homelessness in London that resulted from Thatcherite policies.
