<p>I work as an engineer and Ive been involved in the re-development of this site. I took an interest in these tiles as well as im into historical architecture. They are old but I suspect that they are not original to when the building was built/or the original business that was there from the Edwardian era. These same tiles can be seen in other areas around the site as well not only on this wall. Im not sure what stage the project is at now, but unfortunately theres very little chance that…</p>

<p>Twice i have wrote the full SP on Ernest & Robert Gunner being a hobby meat trade historian & lost it,</p>
<p>So in short they joined West Layton Ltd to become West Gunner Ltd.</p>
<p>Sold in the mid 80,s to Vesteys Dewhurst for £1.1 million = 110 shops.</p>
<p>Dewhurst went in 1995.</p>
<p>Ask me for more detail if this works,</p>

<p>I was chatting with another long-term Harringayite today and they too remember an egg shop opposite Woolworths (now Iceland). So I'm beginning to think there were maybe two egg shops I suspect that the Iceland one was Newman's.</p>

<p>Yes I have the history of those premises back to 1892, before they were even numbered. I also have a not great photo from the 1930s. Do you have any info and photos about the period in your grandfather's stewardship?</p>

<p>Yasar Halim now have 491 - 497. They took over <a href="https://www.harringayonline.com/photo/edwardian-tobacconist" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ray's Newsagents</a> at 491 back in 2009.</p>
<p>I suspect the so-called 'egg-shop' traded at 495.</p>
<p>I can find no trace of any shop trading under the name Egg Store or Egg Shop or anything simillar. Although there was one in both Stoke Newington & Tottenham.</p>
