Thought New Islington was an age old name down there?

It was previously known as the Cardroom Estate. I wonder what name they'll come up with for Tripe Colony.

Yeah, I always thought New Islington was an old name and 'according to Wiki...':

History[edit]​

The name "New Islington" is recorded at least as early as 1817[1] and appeared on the 1840 Ordnance Survey map. There is also a street bearing the name.[2] The name was still current in the 1960s and 70s, there being at the time, a New Islington swimming baths, New Islington Primitive Methodist church, and New Islington Conservative club. However, the name for the area fell out of usage. From its attempted regeneration in the 1970s to its current redevelopment it was known as the Cardroom Estate. It was one of several millennium village projects around seeking to regenerate inner-city areas. The name New Islington was also the local residents' choice of name for the area when the prospect of regeneration was raised.[citation needed]
