Hewling Estate, Stoke Newington
Rain clouds gather over these blocks of flats on the north side of Matthias Road. The two blocks facing each other across the green form the Hewling estate and were constructed in the late 1930s to replace an area of poor quality housing. Hewling House is to the left, Matthias House to the right; there were originally three blocks but the third was destroyed by a Second World War bomb. The tall block in the background is Chaucer House, part of the Milton Gardens Estate.

Church Walk
This was the path running between Newington Green and Stoke Newington for those who wished to attend the latter's old village church.
Easily overlooked, it now threads between shabby houses and back gardens but still retains a rustic character in its winding route.

Newington Green church
This Unitarian chapel was founded in 1708 and is the oldest nonconformist place of worship still used in London.
The banner on the right commemorates its most famous member, Mary Wollstonecraft, who, attracted by the dissenting community around the Green, came to live and briefly to run a school there, with her sisters and a friend, in the early 1780s.
