My mother and her sister were born at 9 Windsor Terrace
My mother, Millie Haring (later Miller) and her sister Yetta Haring (later Freedman) were born here in 1922 and 1923. With their parents and older brother and sister, they lived in two rooms until they moved to Stoke Newington in 1929. She always said there were six rooms, six families, a shared sink on the first floor landing and a toilet in the backyard.

Windsor Terrace, N1
Thank you for the information - My great grandparents lived at 11 Windsor Terrace from around 1918 to 1938... I was just trying to establish the kind of house it might have been as there are so many people listed at the same address so really interesting to see your description.

The northern edge of Tudor London (1520) Moorgate was an old gate in London’s city wall, situated to the west of where the River Walbrook - a long lost river of London - crossed into the city. The Walbrook ran between the two main hills of the city: Ludgate Hill to the west and Cornhill to the east. It rose in the Shoreditch area and flowed into the Thames. By Tudor times, the Walbrook had been culverted within the city but still ran in open country outside the wall. After the river crossed London Wall and flowed into the City, it was bricked over since it had long since turned into a sewer there. Outside the London Wall, the open Walbrook would regularly flood the low-lying area to the north making building difficult. William Fitzstephen described the "great fen which washed against the northern wall of the City". So whereas London slowly spread to the west and the east, the marshy conditions of Moorfields hindered urbanisation to the north. The marsh covered much of the Manor of Finsbury - the name of the district immediately to the north of the city of London whose placename "Finsbury" derives from the word "fen". London’s Wall seems to have acted as a dam, restricting the flow of the river and adding to the area of marshland. As the Walbrook north of the wall was culverted in time, this slowly opened up the hitherto marshy land for building. None of Moorfields remains now - lending its name to the eye hospital and little else.

Holborn Viaduct from Farringdon Street, c. 1910 The building of Farringdon Street is considered one of the greatest urban engineering achievements of the 19th century. It was one of the first engineered multi-lane roads, and also buried the River Fleet in a system of underground tunnels, solving one of London’s most daunting sanitary problems. Its construction also included the building of the world’s first stretch of underground railway, a branch of the Metropolitan Railway that later became part of the London Underground running beneath Farringdon Road from King’s Cross St. Pancras into the City at Farringdon. The construction of Farringdon Street also necessitated the removal of the Fleet Market that had been built in 1736 above the course of the River Fleet, which is now London’s largest subterranean river. North of the market was Hockley-in-the-Hole (around Ray Street Bridge), an area notorious for bear-baiting and similar activities.

This 1929 map shows in great detail the pre-World War Two street layout of what is now the Barbican Estate. This area was virtually completely destroyed by German bombs during the Second World War, and the street pattern as shown was completely reconfigured and reconstructed between 1965 and 1976. Many of these street names have passed into history. These very scarce maps were prepared by the civil engineering firm Charles Goad and Co for insurance and related purposes.
