Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Hornsey Gasworks
I may have missed it but has there been a community discussion on the history of the gasworks and life and times of its community which was based around Hornsey Park.
Parkside Malvern RA gathered a fair amount of stuff over the years but the Association in its original form no longer exists to discuss and share what it knew.
We've probably lost the chance to speak with those who knew the Works when they were operational but perhaps across HoL there is a way to piece together a written social history as well as evidence of its architecture.
The archway entrance from Clarendon Road N8 is on the left of the photo from inside the Works.

Coak was a by product of coal that was cooked to extract the gas that filled The Gasometers.
Clarendon Road was a close neighborhood of many street party's in the 1950s , sadly it was demolished in th70s
And its residents were put in council flats much to their disliking
