Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Steam power wall plaque at Harringay Green Lanes
If anyone in the Harringay hive mind can tell me more about the wonderful plaque at Harringay Green Lanes (almost hidden by the MaccyD's drive-through) I would be very grateful. I'm keen for it to feature on the Speaking Stones audio trail I've been banging on about on my page (and on Twitter @StonesSpeaking). Thank you!

Fabulous news Martin! I’m incredibly excited to hear this. N & Q is a popular segment of the show and commands a great number of listeners. Let’s hope answers are forthcoming AND Haringey is placed firmly on the BBC Radio London map.

I wish there was a sleuthing badge you could get! But if the mystery does get solved now, it'll be largely down to you. Fingers crossed!

Thank you! I got cut off before I could thank you on air for suggesting it. Fingers crossed the mural mystery gets solved now!

Thank you, Hugh. To be honest, me and my Speaking Stones team are just having a lot of fun with this and enjoying how people take an idea and run with it, like Niamh.
For anyone who wants to see the artist responsible for our Green Lanes wall plaque, there's a photo of Judith Bluck on this link https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/319403798568046256/

Thought I'd also note my thanks for taking such an interest - it's always fascinating to find out the backstory to things like this.
(I also had a real chuckle about the loco drivers asking Glenn if they could pause at Harringay GL for a quick maccies!!!)

Thanks, Dave. That made me laugh too and I'm looking forward to getting the full story on the 'Steam Power' plaque.
We launch our Speaking Stones audio trail on 30th May, so I'm hoping we get an answer in time for that!
