In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Abney Park like this:
ABNEY-PARK, a suburb of London, 3½ miles N of St. Paul's. It has a post office under Stoke-Newington, London N. A mansion on its site was the seat of Sir Thomas Abney and the residence of Dr. Watts; and a cemetery now here has a chapel in the centre, and contains a monument to Dr. Watts.
Abney Park is now part of HACKNEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how HACKNEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Abney Park itself, go to Statistics.
