Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
A Bus Spotters Dream - Tottenham High Road 1949
After a Football Match.
Quite a famous shot of the High Road, taken at the spot that is to see widespread development in the near future. The buildings in the background are scheduled to be demolished.

How much more orderly man in the street was. Look at the bus queues! Hats - you rarely left home without one. Bovril sandwiches, Palm Toffee and the good old 627 and 649 trolleybuses. Nice picture painting a thousand words and bringing back many memories.

Nowadays, of course, the buses are diverted away from the ground on match days and you can't catch one outside after the match---progress!

Just a note regarding the amount of buses.
Until the middle of the 60s (actually from January 1967), there was a bus every minute during the daytime and peaks along Tottenham High Road, Seven Sisters Road, as well as along Green Lanes in Harringay! It was a walk to bus stop, get straight on bus service! Towards the end of the 60s, services were cut, mostly in connection with the opening of the Victoria Line.
