The Beaconsfield and Green Lanes, circa 1910

Another Disraeli Connection.. Disraeli was elevated to the House of Lords in 1876 when Queen Victoria (who liked Disraeli both personally and politically) made him Earl of Beaconsfield and Viscount Hughenden.

Two public houses on the same street within a mile of each other and both named after tory Prime Ministers of the previous two decades.

Does anybody know why there is such a strong Disraeli influence in the area..?

Victoria might not have liked Disraeli at first, but he flattered her greatly, which she loved and especially when he suggested that she become Empress of India, which she did in 1876.

Gladstone, who she felt was lecturing her, she really disliked.

The trusty book on Haringey Pubs that I'm browsing dates this photo as 1912.

What's the shop where the brothel used to be on the next corner? Trying to see, but my little old eyes..
