ABOUT STAMFORD HILL

Stamford Hill is a place in the north of the London Borough of Hackney, near the border with Haringey. It is home to one of Europe's largest Hasidic Jewish communities.Stamford Hill lies on the old Roman road of Ermine Street, on high ground above Stoke Newington, where it crosses the road from the medieval village of Clopton into Hackney.Development of the area began around 1800, and many prosperous dwellings were built around Stamford Hill over the next 100 years. The London Road became a busy commercial centre to serve the needs of the burgeoning population. Around 1880, not only were railways serving the area, but this was the point where the tram systems coming north from the city, met the Hackney tram system,and so it became a busy interchange, with a depot opening in 1873.Electrification commenced in 1902, and by 1924 a service was commenced between Stamford Hill and Camden Town, along Amhurst Park.Stamford Hill had many eminent Jewish residents including the Montefiore family. Italian-born Moses Vita Montefiore,lived there by 1763. His son Joseph (d. 1804) married Rachel Mocatta and his grandson Abraham Montefiore (d. 1824) married Henrietta, whose father the financier Nathan Meyer Rothschild lived near the modern Colberg Place, from 1818 to 1835. The Montefiores' property, a little farther south, was to be turned by Abraham's grandson Claude Montefiore into Montefiore House school. With the spread of building, such distinguished families moved away: in 1842 there were few of the wealthy Jews who had once settled in Hackney.The philanthropist and abolitionist, MP Samuel Morley, had a residence here, from about 1860.From the 1880s a new influx of Jews arrived in the area, escaping from the poverty of the East End, and in 1915 the New Synagogue was transferred to Stamford Hill to serve this growing population. In 1926 the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations was established here, and this became a magnet for other strictly observant sects, many fleeing both Stalinist and Nazi persecution in the years before and after World War II. Also, many Jewish families came here from other areas of London, refugees in their own way from bombing and post-war clearances for housing. One of the early Hasidic leaders in Stanford Hill was the Shotzer Rebbe. Another notable Jewish resident from 1955, until his death in 2000, was the spiritual head of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, Rabbi Chanoch Dov Padwa.
