Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Arena
Does anyone have any history on the Haringay Arena in the early 50's. My father was an Accountant at the Arena and I am keen to learn what I can about what was happening at the Arena at the time he worked there.
He lost his life in 1953 so any information leading up to this time would be much appreciated.

The other articles in the chapter are:
