(39 units – formally 40 units)

The north terrace of Barnsbury Street was BHA’s first development, it was funded by the GLC.  The development is all rehabs, or in the case of numbers 60/62, these are quasi-rehabs – only the façade was kept.  The homes were first occupied in 1970.  All the units of two beds or more are maisonettes except for 36d and 36e which are flats. No 43 is really part of our Milner Square development (see over).  The breakdown of units by size was as follows: Studios – 2; One bed – 15; Two bed – 9; Three bed – 8; Four bed – 4; Five bed – 1.  In 2005/06 we converted 36a and 36b (a one-bed maisonette and a one-bed flat) into a two-bed maisonette known as 36a (36b no longer exists).

Numbers 28, 30 and 32 have the use of a shared rear garden. Numbers 36 to 56 also have shared rear gardens.  Numbers 60/62 have a shared courtyard.  In 1973 28/62 Barnsbury Street received a Civic Trust award for “making an outstanding contribution to the appearance of the local scene”.  The buildings are all Grade II listed.
