Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Topsfield Parade (and the very edge of Broadway Parade) very soon after completion - and a flood!. I have a note that this image was taken by a family member of Alec John.

Are we quite sure they fitted enough lampposts? 🤣😯

There are a few! My guess is that the developers of the two parades may have stumped up some of the costs and they really wanted their shops to shine in the gloomy weather. Even though, I imagine that gas lamps were much less brilliant than electric lights, it must’ve been quite a sight after the sun went down.
