Overview & brief
history
Cripplegate ward is a large and diverse area situated in the
north east sector of Snow Hill Division. It is bounded by Fore
Street, Moor Lane, Golden Lane, part of Baltic Street and Goswell
Road. It contains the residential population centre of the division
on the Golden Lane and Barbican Estates.
The estates are described as:
Golden Lane Estate
The Golden Lane Estate has 550 residencies and is made up of a
diverse mix of young professionals, owner occupiers and ‘buy to let
properties’. There is still a sizable number of older people, many
of whom are retired. However, over the last 12-18 months an
increasing number of social services clients have been housed
there.
The main annual event on the estate is the Golden Lane Leisure
Centre Fun Day, held in August. The community ward officer is in
attendance on this family day. The ward officer liaises on a
regular basis with estate management and also meets on a monthly
basis with social services staff to discuss vulnerable people
living on the estate.
The ward constable for the Golden Lane Estate is based within
the leisure centre complex near the tennis courts.
Barbican Estate
The Barbican Estate has residential, educational, leisure and
business centres. The residential population comprises 2003
residencies, and a population of approximately 5000 in 20 blocks,
or houses as they are known. The main residential group is known as
the Barbican Association, which disseminates information down
through the house groups.

concert halls, art galleries, library and exhibition halls. A
