Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The Harringay bell and horn - Lausanne/Frobisher/Wightman roads

We live the Wightman Rd end of Lausanne Rd and can routinely hear what we've started calling the Harringay Bell and Horn. A 2 or 3 times a day ringing of a bell, followed by a long horn noise. Last happened 11.45am this morning. Can anyone tell us what it is? We're so curious!

We’re right next to the church and it sounds like it’s coming from the opposite direction, we always thought further down Lausanne Rd.

You're probably right, I'm sure. But sound waves can behave quite strangely in cities and bounce around in a way as to disguise their source. We need a Harringay Horn and Bell vigil group at the top of Lausanne at 1100 every day till the source is revealed!

We have a sound technician in the family who agrees it’s coming from the opposite direction (and it is very obvious). We can see the church from our house and it’s closed when the horn blows in the evening.
