 Ian Doucet Added: 28 Jul 2023 16:31 GMT | Campbell Road, N4 Robert James, a great-uncle of mine, was born at 90 Campbell Rd, on 17 March 1899, youngest of Christina James (nee Potter) my great grandmother’s 6 children. Every child was born at a different Islington address. Seems like with the move to Campbell Rd they werent going up in the world, and a Joseph Hickie or Hicks was living with them. Anyone know of any photos of Campbell Rd at this time? Reply |

Most of the houses still retain the original 19th century tiling and drainage outside of the front doors. Reply |
