Greenman Street, Islington
The building seen here, on the south side of Greenman Street, is part of the Peabody Trust's Islington Estate. Peabody housing was the idea of American philanthropist George Peabody who moved to London and set about tackling the poverty he saw there. This block dates from 1865, making it one of the earliest examples; the characteristic architecture may seem rather severe to modern eyes, but this was a vast improvement on the slum accommodation that was occupied by many Victorian Londoners. Today, the Peabody Trust is a charitable institution housing about 50,000 people with estates - of varying vintages - across London.

Popham Street, Islington
The Victorian almshouses here are associated with the adjacent St James' church. The architectural style contrasts dramatically with the modern flats, glimpsed in this picture across Maitland Walk.

Tibby Place, Islington
This small park on Greenman Street (off Essex Road) was once the location of Tibberton Baths - a local swimming pool. Oddly, part of the structure remains as a memorial - although I was unable to find any explanation of this at the site itself. The overall effect is distinctly surreal.
