I've based the population on the total for Highbury East (10,278) and Highbury West (11,681). Potentially I could have included Mildmay, which would boost the population to over 30,000, but Mildmay lies in N1 and is south / east of Highbury N5. Rellis1067 11:32, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The Highbury Corner V1 fell on 27th June 1944, not 17th - correction made. I've also added an external link to an engaving of the old victorian-gothic railway station which sadly the bomb destroyed.

Some of the language in the section marked doesn't seem to be very neutral - 'gentrification' and 'down market' don't seem to be very appropriate. Totallycrazyman 21:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
The above comment is revealed to be frivolous by Totallycrazyman's repeated use of seem as a weasel word .
When the investment of capital in a grouped housing stock and/or its circumscribed commercial properties is designed to effect the appearance of greater affluence, there is no more precise term than gentrification. While a common result of such a process is that occupancy becomes restricted to a wealthier demographic--often to the exclusion of former residents--the author's views on such a result are not intrinsic to his choice of the term.
While earnest vigilance against the influence of advocacy journalism on all media is a noble pursuit, Kbthompson's contribution is simultaneously rote and misguided. While I personally believe that gentrification can have devastating short-term effects, the observed sequellae of various projects are by no means universal--more to the point, the term itself is in common usage by both sides.
Strictly speaking, down-market is indicative only of lesser financial value, and is plausibly self-evident to the lay observer.

"During the construction of a new Highbury House in 1781, tiles were found that could have been Roman or Norman; unfortunately these have been lost."
From the Romans to the Normans is approximately 650 years; it seems surprising that the antiquarians of the 1780s weren't able to distinguish the artifacts of the one from the other. BTLizard ( talk) 14:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
While I'm sure there were a handful of gifted English antiquarians in 1781, my sense is that most available practitioners employed ad hoc techniques and endured the many hardships of 18th century travel only in the pursuit of valuable artifacts. King George II had chartered The Society of Antiquaries of London by 1751, but its earliest collections reveal a preoccupation with the manuscripts, letters, and printed materials associated with the establishment of heraldry and geneaology. While the Society's own publications often presented depictions of crumbling Gothic architecture, these prints were independent commissions--not illustrations to complement articles on the subject.
I would be very surprised if television had not made you better-informed about ancient tiles than were the lot performing the 1781 work. As you are probably aware, the task of distinguishing between Roman- and Norman tile would have been complicated by the recycling of Roman-era materials in Norman-era construction. The ubiquity of mixed-material structures would have obscured their origins until such a time as a sufficiently-large sample of unadulterated structures--with features allowing them to be dated unambiguously to either period--could be compiled.

I would like to see a picture of 38 Hamilton Road, Highbury,N In London for 1927 and a map my grandfather lived there. It does Not exist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.105.214 ( talk) 00:52, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
I see the famous residents section of the page has been removed? It was very useful and spot on information. It should be placed back, the current page isn't very helpful for people in the arts, like me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.249.249 ( talk) 19:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Yes the page has been vandalized by the look of it. Matthewn5 ( talk) 11:59, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
unsourced and likely to date very rapidly. That is not vandalism, and Philafrenzy does have a point. Unfortunately their edit did also give rise to a load of pathetic and whingeing real vandalism from some fool (see again the edit history) so I suppose a benefit of having it back is that we might be done with that timewaster! :) But anyway, my referring to Philafrenzy above should have alerted them to this discussion. For what it's worth, I agree that the list in its current form is ludicrously long and wholly unreferenced. I suppose that something of the kind could be useful if it was manageable and had refs. I'm not sure what other articles about places do - there is probably some agreed practice in a Wikiproject somewhere! Hope this helps, cheers DBaK ( talk) 07:49, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Famous residents have been removed again, I've contacted Wikipedia about getting it put back and then having the page locked so only I can edit it. The folks at Islington Council shouldn't be allowed to edit this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.47.167 ( talk) 22:47, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
