"Highbury View is BHA’s sheltered housing on Highbury Fields. The scheme was transferred to BHA from Crown Simmons Housing Associarion in 2017.

Highbury View was built in the 18th century and has a fascinating history. Previously the site of a hospital, it was also the home of Sir Francis Ronalds in 1796, a well-known meteorologist and pioneer of the electric telegraph. A plaque on 1 Highbury Terrace commemorates his life." Show less
