other Rookery disambiguation A rookery also sometimes described as a stew was the colloquial British English term given in the 18th and 19th centuries to a city slum occupied by poverty poor people and frequently also by criminal s and prostitute s. Such areas were overcrowded, with low quality housing and little or no sanitation. Poorly constructed dwellings, built with multiple stories, and which were often crammed into any area of open ground, created densely populated areas of gloomy narrow streets and alleyways. Etymology The nickname rookery originated due to the perceived similarities between a city slum and the nesting habits of the Rook bird rook , a bird in the crow family. Rooks nest in large, noisy colonies consisting of multiple nests, often untidily crammed into a close group of tree tops, called a rookery . The term might also be linked to the slang expression to rook , to cheat or steal, a verb well established in the 16th century and associated with the supposedly thieving nature of the rook bird. The term was first used in print by the poet George Galloway in 1792 to describe a cluster of mean tenements densely populated by people of the lowest class . ref http www.worldwidewords.org ... century and into Victorian times, an area described by Henry Mayhew in about 1860 in A Visit to the Rookery ...

It is one of two former areas of common land in the former parish of Streatham. The other is now known as Tooting Commons Tooting Bec Common After inclosure , the Common was purchased for use as a public open space under the powers conferred under the Metropolitan Commons Act 1878 . The Common was conveyed to the Metropolitan Board of Works and was subsequently administered by the London County Council and Greater London Council before maintenance responsibility passed to the London Borough of Lambeth in 1971. The Common had a long tradition of cricket playing from the 18th century, and the right to play cricket is enshrined in the Supplementary Act that brought the common into public ownership. As well as the historic common, there is also an adjacent formal garden, The Rookery, laid out on the site of one of Streatham s historic mineral wells. The Rookery is well known for its old cedar trees and White Garden designed in the same style as that at Sissinghurst Castle . The gently sloping lawns of The Rookery are used as an open air theatre in the summer. The south east end of Streatham Common and Rookery Gardens abut Norwood Grove within the London Borough of Croydon to form part of a larger series of green spaces along the ridge line from Streatham to Crystal Palace, London Crystal Palace .
