UK - London Flickr Group Photowalk 17 - Fonthill Rd - Mannequin_5004625

A mannequin in the window of one of over 100 dress shops on the Fonthill Road, just round the corner from Finbury Park tube station.
One of the best things about the London Flickr Group Photowalks is that my fellow Admin @Fozelek has a greater knowledge of some of the more off the beaten track bits of the city and therefore I keep discovering new bits of the city. The vibrant Fonthill Road is a good example of this and somewhere I'll head back to explore more soon.
Our next Photowalk is scheduled for Saturday April 20th, more details here if you're interesting in joining us for this free event : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

From Wikipedia, "The 1960s and 1970s saw a large influx of Bangladeshis alongside pockets of Pakistanis, Indians and Burmese who settled in the borough. Many moved to surrounding locales as their economic prowess grew in the 1980s. They made significant contributions to local business and politics as well as to religious institutions (e.g. the founding of the original Finsbury Park Mosque). A number of immigrant-led businesses opened on Blackstock Road, an area associated with the Algerian immigrant community amongst others.
There had been a large minority of the African Caribbean diaspora arriving in the area bordering Manor House throughout the same period and as early as the Windrush generation. Greek Cypriots and later Turkish Cypriots started to arrive in the 1960s and 70s as economic migrants firmly establishing themselves in business through the clothing trade on Fonthill Road.
In the 1980s and 90s, immigrants included significant populations of Somalis populating the area as refugees and asylum seekers at the height of the crisis in their homeland and more recent arrivals of settled EU nationals from Scandinavian countries."
