Grounds of Harringay House from Finsbury Park c 1880. The house can just about be made out on the hill in the centre of the photo.

Comment by Hugh on October 23, 2020 at 21:30: Yes, apologies for the low res version. I have a full size high res version. But, my deal with Bruce Castle when I started publishing their photos was that I'd watermark them with Bruce Castle and only publish them low res. Same applied with the Hackney Archives photos of Manor House. Otherwise, I always choose to publish hi res versions and watermark them with HoL to make it more difficult for them to be taken and resold on ebay et al.

As to the location, I've always thought it was somwhere near the spot marked on the 1893 OS map, below.

Comment by Ros Attille on October 23, 2020 at 23:19: Yes, looking at the path layout it seems about right!
