East London . of Charles II. Sometimes it is a singlehouse; sometimes it is a whole street. In this respect, oneor two of the East London suburbs are richer than thoseof the west or the south because they are older. Hackneyand Stoke Newington, Stepney and Tottenham, were villagesinhabited by wealthy people or noble people when the sub-urbs of the south were mere rural villages, with farms andmeadows among their hanging woods.

It consists of a row of earl_v eighteenthcentury houses on the south side, and another row of houses,probably of late eighteenth century, onthe north.
