Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Crouch End Heights !!!!?????

Estate agents (Prickett & Ellis of Crouch End - where else) have now given the name "Crouch End Heights" to the north (higher) part of Stapleton Hall Road. See the attached. The property in question at 194 is just down the road from Quernmore Road. What next Finsbury Park village?. There was an attempt at Stroud Green Village, but this came to nothing.

Do advertising standards authority rules on advertising apply to estate agents? Just think there might be some person somewhere who might be taken in by the “posh” address. Note that reference is made to the shops in Crouch End - only 15 minutes walk (more like 20), however no mention that the Green Lanes shops are just five minutes walk away and Stroud Green Road only ten minutes walk. Suppose that they aren’t good enough.

The box on the roof - now there’s a story. Way back in 1987 one weekend, a demolition crew came in and stripped the pitched roof off the house and built the box as a part of a roof extension. A complaint was made to Haringey Council who ordered the pitched roof replaced. The builders ignored this and appealed, in the end Thatcher’s Secretary of State for the Environment Nicholas Ridley allowed this piece of vandalism. And then, to add insult to injury the good red brick work was painted.

The middle flat was sold about four months ago and has been lying empty ever since - why?
