<p>Thanks Hugh, I would be pleased to see this second list, if it's not too large to copy. Doing more research on the Clerkenwell Detached boundary is still on my list. Are there any other members out there who have an interest in this? Colin</p>

<p>Colin, I just came across a second list of Hornsey boundary markers: this one is from 1866, a year before Hornsey abandoned the vestry system of local government. I'm not sure that it'll be much use because I think most, if not all, are long gone and were superseded by those given in the 1888 list which I already sent you a copy of - just flagging it.</p>

<p>Well done all.</p>
<p>I did a casual update in various parts of the Boro' last summer and we've lost a couple and gained one in the Japan Crescent area. There were supposed to be one on each platform of Crouch Hill Station [as its partly in LBH], but I couldn't find either [ nor could TfL staff] but I did find one on private land alongside TfL land there with the help of a interested garage owner.</p>

<p>Hugh, that’s good research and a good story, and I don’t doubt that you are right in identifying that lovely marker post as one from the boundary running east-west between Wilton Road and Greenham Road, N10. In case you didn’t know, had it been a hundred or so yards further east it would have been marking a different and more extraordinary boundary, that which defined what was Clerkenwell Detached. Maybe this subject has already been explored by this group, but assuming it hasn’t, let me…</p>

Maybe this subject has already been explored by this group, but assuming it hasn’t, let me continue.</p>
<p>I still find it astonishing to think that a small area of what is now Muswell Hill was for many years administered as part of Clerkenwell in central London. From c1160 to 1539 it belonged to the Priory of St Mary, Clerkenwell and then part of Clerkenwell Parish up to 1901, when it was transferred to Hornsey. The boundary of what was Clerkenwell Detached can be reasonably well identified – its northern limit was near what is now Goodwins Vale and went south along the line of Colney Hatch Lane until the top of Muswell Hill and then east towards Alexandra Park, and then back north across Dukes Avenue, defining a long triangle centred on the site of the original Mus-Well. Many of the original Muswell Hill houses have their first deeds identifying their location as within of this triangle.</p>
<p>Ages ago I did some original research to identify the exact location of some of the Clerkenwell Detached boundary markers. It is unfinished work and I would be pleased to share it with anyone who wants to pursue it further.</p>
<p>Please, I too would like an email copy of your list. Thanks, Colin</p> Well done. Looks very smart. tag:harringayonline.com,2022-10-23:844301:Comment:15130562022-10-23T19:38:09.657ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk
