Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I’m hoping to renovate a house on Falkland Road and I wondered if anyone that lives on that road, or others, can share what the original floor of their kitchen dining extension looks like. I have seen one on Beresford road that appears to be wooden floorboards half way, with terracotta diagonal tiles in what I assume would have been the scullery. Im not sure if all the ladder houses are the same though. I’m hoping to do a sympathetic renovation of at all possible and looking for some ideas! Thank you!

Ours (on Warham) was wooden floorboard up to the end of the kitchen and then black and red diagonal checkerboard laid quarry tiles in the scullery area.  They were beyond repair but were exactly the same has ones that still survive at the side of the rear extension in the garden.

Thank you Michael. I had no idea the side returns were paved with tiles too. I wonder how many exist, like yours. Thank you for sharing the picture. 

We were lucky Rihanna, the woman we bought the house from had lived there since her birth in the 1930s and her parents have bought it when they married before the First World War and hadn’t really changed it a lot.

Thank you for sharing the history. I am facinated by the lives of those who initially bought these houses and how they used them. I agree you are lucky to have such an untouched property!
