The name Astburys was inspired by the diaries of William Copeland Astbury which described in detail, the history of Crouch End and surrounding areas.
Excerpt from William Copeland Astburys Diary:
“Crouch End remained rural until around 1880. Large parts remained in private ownership, inhibiting development. However, the development of the railway changed the area significantly. By 1887 there were seven railway stations in the area. Crouch End became a prosperous middle-class suburb due to an influx of mainly clerical workers who could easily commute to the city. The large old houses were replaced by comfortable middle-class housing, public parks were created, and a number of new roads and avenues, such as Elder Avenue and Weston Park, were laid out.”
Despite the vast changes in Crouch End, its people have continued to take pride in their community. It is one of the few places in Greater London that have thrived despite losing many transport links and having only one remaining railway station.
Over the years, Crouch End has been highly influenced by music and art with many poets and musicians working in the area and most importantly, it has retained its village like charm with plenty of, cafes, parks and outdoor spaces making it the ideal place for families with children.
