I'm guessing this picture was taken from the Tottenham Lane end looking towards Finsbury Park. Funny but that hill doesn't look as steep here as it was when I used to try and ride my raleigh chopper bike up it in the 1970's.

I think its from the stapleton hall rd end. I dont remember the shops going that far up the street from the corner of tott lane ferme park juntion.

It might be the island in the road throwing you. think staplton hall rd running right to left and you'll see what i mean. Londis on the left.

Yes, I think you're spot on there. It's the opposite end to what I was thinking. Boy was that hill difficult to ride a bike up but fun coming down.
