It started yesterday with a single Blue Plaque mock-up for one shop, and a day later, I'm pleased to share a 163-page eBook (113MB) I created with the history of every shop in Stoke Newington Church Street. Apart from the evolution of every shop in the street, it includes photos of different shops over the years and a few charts that illustrate various trends.
I consider this to be 'work in progress' and expect to make updates and release minor updates in the future, but for now, if you ever wanted to have the history of every shop in Stoke Newington Church Street at your fingertips, you can download the PDF here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Pho…
