<p>Was the garden of Lake Villa a public park before they pulled down all the buildings in the photo? Looks like someone with a pushchair coming towards the gates. Am I right in thinking that the council bought the land in the mid-1920s but didn't start on the town hall until the early 1930s?</p>

<p>I think they did, but extended at ground level, towards the street as shop-houses. In the 1892-3 Kelly's, the pair directly to the north of Dunn's are shown as 8-10 Broadway (Belle Vue House), a draper's shop. </p>

<p>Did they survive until the town hall was built? Layout on the 1895 maps looking very different - did they have single story shops built in front of them?. Are there any photos?</p>

<p>If you count the gardens as shown by the garden boundaries on the 1869 map, you'll see there were in fact four houses. They were 1 to 4 Belle Vue Terrace. The 1871 census lists the occupation of Henry Mountain in No 2 as '<em>Shareholder in public company'</em> and of Walter Hazel and No. 4 as '<em>printer employing 67 people'</em>. A '<em>gent</em>' called William Cooper used to live At number 3, in the mid 1860. He must have been an artist of some sort since his 1842 picture <em>Cattle…</em></p>

<p>What were the budings bewteen what is now Dunns and the Lake Villia? In the 1869 map it looks like two large villas?</p>

<p>When I first moved to Crouch End-Hornsey mid 1970's, pub closing was 10.30 pm with liberated plebeian? Wood Green being 11.00 pm. The old licensing areas perhaps matched the old boundaries ? I know you had to cross the East Coast Main rail Line divider</p>

<p>Terrific - thank you Hugh. Interesting that the basic form of the place has not changed that much - two y-junctions leading id opposite direction joined by what becomes the Broadway. Amazing. </p>
<p>BTW, I found 'new window' worked better than new tab. Win10 of course.</p>
