Here's the latest intriguing map of a half-built Harringay Ladder, from 1893-6, at an astonishing level of detail. It's been put together by some clearly perfectionist people at the National Library of Scotland, in association with the David Rumsey Map Collection.
Ollie O'Brien, a researcher at UCL's Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, has written a bit about it here.
Hoping other HOL-ers get as much pleasure from playing with it as I have!
Great job. I'd seen the old OS map before, but they've done a great job of the overlay. I love the slider tool - exactly what I was going for here - but done properly!
Fab! This is amazing! And what's even funnier is that in the photo I can see my lovely old Kermit green Citroen 2CV parked right outside my old house on Seymour. Awwww!
Very interesting, looks like these houses were all built before the Salisbury, I wonder where everyone went for a pint of Pride?
Thought I'd add my bit: if you look at the houses in Wightman Road, just north of St Paul's, on the railway side you can see a gap: there is a house there now (mine). I was told that that gap was left as the space for the original bridge but this was then moved a little further south and that the builder who built the other houses built himself his own house in the space, which explains why this is a detached house to a different design than the others around it!
Wonderful map and so interesting. Anybody know anything about the Pottery Works almost opposite the Beaconsfield pub ?
What do you want to know? Believe it or not Brian Williamson, a direct descendant of the owners, is still living in Allison Road. There are some pictures here.
Thanks Hugh. Had a quick look... .. .. half an hour later remembered what i was supposed to be doing
