Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Who lived in your house in 1935?
When we first moved into our house, we found a Kelly's post office directory from 1935 in the attic which I unearthed again today. It lists all the addresses in the then Hornsey borough and who was the head of household.
Our house was occupied by Arthur Jackson for instance. What is also fascinating is that there was a synagogue on Wightman Road (the current church opposite the mosque) and a lot of residents with German or jewish names living on the ladder (remember, this was 1935).
The unfortunate resident of 26 Priory Gardens N6 was one Mrs Hitler, who I'm sure changed her name by 1939.
If you want to know who lived in your house or anyother address in 1935, just let me know.

Hello Michael.........I hope I'm not seen to be chasing you up but this article is so very interesting and I'd very much love to know answers to my questions, if at all possible. I have posted 3 comments to you, all 14th Feb, '25 (and yes maybe I should've been out wining and dining on that day). My first appears on page 6, second on page 11 and last on page 14 (which you have responded to) so I'm wondering if first 2 have been overlooked or deleted somehow ? Thanks in anticipation. Not too offended if you impolitely tell me where to get off. Thank you.

I can't see any of these, John. I can assure you that none have been deleted.
