Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Highbury Corner I had to wait a while for a vehicle-free instant!
The general impression of Highbury Corner is of a maelstrom of traffic noise, fumes and congestion but in fact this tiny island of trees and grass at the intersection of four major thoroughfares marks the scene of much greater devastation when, on June 27th 1944, a VI "doodlebug" hit the top of Upper Street, which this point then was. 26 people died and many more were injured. The roundabout was created subsequently and includes is a memorial to the event. Currently (2007) there are plans to reconstruct and redevelop this road junction and the surrounding area. |
