Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Photos of Victorian London
with an aerial shot of Stonebridge Road and South Tottenham station in 1882 (for Pamish).. The earliest known surviving aerial photograph of Great Britain, taken on 29 May 1882.

the remains of the gardens of earlier larger villas can bee seen around Highweek Road. Most of the buildings in the photo survived until the late 1960s.. I recall the factory on the corner of Stonebridge Road and Seven Sisters Road, opposite what is now the entrance to Seven Sisters Station.

In the days before South Tottenham railways station got the place rechristened as South Tottenham, I see.
Great link, Steve.

As long as you are within the Tottenham boundaries it must be Tottenham. Stamford Hill starts in Tottenham at St Ann's Road, but actually lies in Hackney.

Are you a municipal employee, Stephen?
Administrative districts don't always accord with what local people call an area. According to one of the previous councillors for the area that includes the Gardens, it's not in Harringay; it's in a place called St Ann's. I use administrative boundaries as an information source in determining where a place, not the determining factor.

lol - St Ann's ?? Where is that then? What are these Disneyland names? Did I live there too? Nah, it was Tottenham.
I'm not sure how long you've lived in Haringey now, but in the twenty years I did so, plus the further ten that I remained in London, Stamford Hill started south of St Ann's Road. Stamford Hill ia also the N16 postal district. Now where does that start? Certainly not at the end of Crowland Road.
