<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The history of a fascinating, 'dissenting' area of London from late medieval times to the present day<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Stoke Newington has long been one of London's most intriguing and radical areas. Boasting famous residents from Mary Wollstonecraft to Marc Bolan, it has always attracted creative types. In the 1960s and 1970s 'Stokey' was becoming a somewhat disreputable neighbourhood, but in recent years its appeal has led to its gentrification and the arrival of a wealthy middle class. The area's history is a fascinating one. This book reveals, through a combination of anecdote, historical fact and cultural insight, how this often argumentative yet tolerant 'village' has become the increasingly fashionable and sought after Stoke Newington of today.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>RAB MACWILLIAM is well known locally as a prolific author, editor and publisher of numerous books and magazines.
