Interesting piece, but note that when you say "Each furnace had an enormous chimney shaft to take away the smell and 'noxious gases' that were thought at the time to be so harmful to health" - modern science confirms that the gases produced by burning rubbish are indeed noxious. These plants would have no pollution control technology (other than a tall chimney), so would be very polluting....

<p>That's quite an elegant chimney. Would rather see that towering over Hornsey old churchyard than the hideous new block soon to be looming from Hampden Road.</p>
<p>HR Williams was of course the man whose achievements the Crouch End clocktower commemorates.</p>

<p>A very interesting selection, Hugh.</p>
<p>Only thing that puzzles me is why, with such fine mortuaries, recycling and coroner's facilities provided contiguous to the new Hornsey destructor, the high intensity cremators were not also used to the benefit of the Borough's poor. A grave oversight, it seems to me.</p>
