What is recorded here

Crumbles Castle is a fake medieval fortress built in 1974 inside Bingfield Park, Islington. Architecture students made it from old telegraph poles, concrete and granite recovered from Kings Cross roadworks. It became the heart of a tough children’s adventure playground, where the castle’s rough edges suited young bodies more than polished museum glass.

Crumbles Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of London Borough of Islington. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Crumbles Castle was likely a small defensive structure or manor house built in the medieval period, possibly by a local landowning family. It is remembered mainly for its historical presence on early maps, indicating its role in the local landscape of what is now inner London.
