<p>Thanks for that interesting information. Our group had some details of Pastor Saxby's addresses but were not able to find out much more about him.

<p>Thanks for that interesting information. Our group had some details of Pastor Saxby's addresses but were not able to find out much more about him. We were interested that he, almost alone apart from Quaker leaders, amongst religious figures locally in the area that is today's Haringey supported COs. The well-known exception was of course Reverend Richard Roberts minister at the since demolished Presbyterian Holly Park Church on Crouch Hill who resigned in 1915. He chaired the founding conference of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (still existing today) to become that organisation's first secretary. Anyone interested in a walk which from Finsbury Park to the Salisbury which passes by addresses where some of Haringey's CO's lived might be interested to look at: <a href="https://conscientiousobjectionremembered.wordpress.com/peace-walks/" target="_blank">https://conscientiousobjectionremembered.wordpress.com/peace-walks/</a></p> Indeed Joanna. 596 Green Lane…tag:harringayonline.com,2022-11-25:844301:Comment:15183062022-11-25T12:30:30.778ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk
<p>Indeed Joanna. 596 Green Lanes (formerly 6 Harringay Villas) was run as a Harringay School from 1885 till 1909. It had up to five boys boarding there. From 1910 to 1913, adverts in the press show it as Harringay Music Studio. From January 1913, adverts started appearing at the address for Harringay Commercial School catering for both day and boarding pupils.

<p>Indeed Joanna. 596 Green Lanes (formerly 6 Harringay Villas) was run as a Harringay School from 1885 till 1909. It had up to five boys boarding there. From 1910 to 1913, adverts in the press show it as Harringay Music Studio. From January 1913, adverts started appearing at the address for Harringay Commercial School catering for both day and boarding pupils. I wonder if that was a church school, because from 1910, Rev David Davis is recorded living at the address. (He may have been renting a room or flat, I suppose.) </p>
<p>Pastor Saxby arrived in Harringay in 1909 to take on the Baptist church at 97 Duckett Road. He lived at 66 Burgoyne. In 1915, he took on 596 Green Lanes , living in the premises. The other residents were young men. I have always assumed it was a training college for young men in training to join the Presbyterian ministry. From 1932, it was taken on by Oakwood Laundry who used it to house their engineer.</p> Haringey First World War Peac…tag:harringayonline.com,2022-11-25:844301:Comment:15181392022-11-25T08:15:51.903ZJoanna Bornathttps://harringayonline.com/profile/JoannaBornat
