<p>Yes the former pub is under Hornsey School for Girls's playing field, by the goal area!!</p>
<p>As a lad in the 60's I remember a bookbinders or printers just there too.</p>

<p>Thanks Helen, this is proposing quite an upheaval. Can't quite work out from the map where they want to put the Crossrail 2 station and the line that feeds it.</p>
<p>What an irony that the nearby Palace Gates line has been long ripped up. </p>

<p>Many thanks for this info, the area must have been cleared in the late 60's, I remember working in a couple's house in Barnet and they told me that they used to live in Hornsey Vale but had to relocate to the new house due to the planned demolition. </p>

<p>That was well dug out! With that info I was able to find the following reference to a letter written in 1899 and now in the London Metropolitan Archives (Ref: <span>MA/C/L/088/025)*</span> :</p>
<blockquote><p><span>Letter: The Abyssinian, Spencer Road, Hornsey Vale, (additions).; Plans of existing premises, Cannon Road and Spencer Road elevations, first floor, basement. Plans of additions, block plan, ground floor (coffee room), Canon Road elevation; dimensions mar…</span></p>

<p>That whole was demolished for redevelopment in the Sixties.</p>

<p><em>Note: As of 13 Oct 2023, with regard to the 1899 letter, the LMA Archivist has told me, "Unfortunately though it is noted on the catalogue as no longer being in our collection. This series was largely re-catalogued around 20 years ago and unfortunately of the run of documents with the references MA/C/L/088/002-060 only four of them have location indexes suggesting that that either these were missing at the time they were re-catalogued or they were re-catalogued and the new locations were not noted."</em></p> The Abbysian [not sure of spe…tag:harringayonline.com,2015-04-25:844301:Comment:7459042015-04-25T16:50:00.244ZAlanhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/Alan
<p>The Abbysian [not sure of spelling[ was at 18 spencer Rd corner with Canon Td which led via Gordon Rd to Inderwick RD where HGS is now. The old HG school in Weston Pk was demolished & replaced with a block of flats called... Abbysinian Court I think.</p>

<p>Addendum....doing a bit of research on the web, there was an Abyssinia House roughly where Montague Road is, the pub was probably further down Montague Road somewhere and eventually demolished in the late 60's. I'm seeing some old Crouch End pals on Saturday so I may be able to find out some more.</p>

<p>That's the one. But since it's down by the Passage it would be a bit of a stretch to say it was on the corner of Wightman. Sorry.</p>

<p>Guess you mean <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/photo/hampden-road-flood-1907" target="_blank">this one</a>, John. I'm not sure that we ever figured out what it was. Sadly, that plot was not developed at the time the 1894 map was made. So that offers no clues either.</p>
