Interesting fact about  Upper Holloway…  Holloway prison was opened in 1852 as a mixed-sex prison, but due to growing demand for space for female prisoners, particularly due to the closure of Newgate, it became female-only in 1903.

HM Prison Holloway was a closed category prison for adult women and young offenders in Holloway, London, England, operated by Her Majesty’s Prison Service. It was the largest women’s prison in western Europe

 Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and its hybrids are a non-native, invasive species of plant. Since it was introduced into the UK as an ornamental garden plant in the mid-nineteenth century, it has spread across the UK, particularly along watercourses, transport routes and infested waste areas and of course private gardens.

Although requirements will vary from lender to lender in the UK, in practice, lenders will typically request evidence of an initial treatment and a commitment by the owner/purchaser of the property to fund in advance the treatment programme along with a 10 year insurance backed guarantee.
