Holloway has an astonishing - largely untold - 750 year (at least) history of transient development.
The name comes from horse-carts digging such deep ruts in the mud by 1300 it became known as the hollow way.
I love that Joe Meek wrote 'Telstar'[1] from a tiny flat in Holloway. It sounded like the future in 1962, and sounds like the past now. It's the same with the built environment.
