Dist:0.2km north<br/>Taken at junction with Spring Hill. The houses on this road are large family houses, and many appear to be occupied by Orthodox Jews. There will therefore have been special adaptations made to these houses to help them conform with dietary and Sabbath keeping laws.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This was Stamford Hill Chapel, built about 1777 when large houses were built around here. It was renamed in 1827, rebuilt in 1832, became a parish in 1856 as population increased, remodelled in 1873. Most of it was destroyed by a bomb in 1940 but the tower remained; it was rebuilt in 1958. See web page http://www.dgbdgb.btinternet.co.uk/church/stthomas.htm of David G Brown.
