Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Green Lanes at Clissold Park, Circa 1905
I'm having trouble pinpointing where this photo was taken circa 1905.
The title says 'Clissold Park', so I'm assuming its south of Seven Sisters. It's taken on an incline steep enough for the railing support wall on the right to be stepped. There's a turning on the left and a tram line running along the road. Looking at Google Streetview and an 1893 OS map, the only place that seems to fit id the corner of Green Lanes and Seven Sisters, but then if you look at the photos of that spot here from around the same time, it doesn't match.
For all it doesn't fit, I thought initially that the railings might be the ones opposite the Climbing Tower, but they're not stepped.
I'm probably missing the obvious. Any ideas anyone?

A little further on than the viewpoint in this shot on Google Maps - that left turn must be Riversdale Rod The buildings on the left have gone...

Good stuff - but it must be after July 1947 cos this petrol head knows the Standard Vanguard behind the tram was introduced that month.
