Upmarket Edwardian Crouch End

The kerbline seems unusually high. Is it still like that today?

My earliest memories of CE are from the 1960s.. It was, even then, slightly more upmarket that Harringay.

Great picture, wish those lampposts where still in situ. On some Stroud Green roads the original posts are still around but with replaced lamps.

Thanks for this lovely post. Chrouch End is still very picturesque.

This is one photo from an album by a family who lived in Seymour Road at the very start of the 20th Century. I haven't been able to acquire the whole album but have bought the most local ones - a fascinating peep into Harringay life in 1903.

So many lampposts and not far apart either.

Pretty much long gone all bar the shouting.

Amazing how little has changed in this screen cap today: And look how the oriel window has survived - now over the Virgin Gym.

By the way, re the lamp posts - beware the effects of the old lenses - they tended to compress horizontally and expand vertically.
