Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Frobisher Road c 1905

Looking west from the eastern end of the road. The wall on the far right of the photo is the one running alongside the back garden of 1 Willoughby Road.

The chimney in the distance is the 200 ft chimney that was erected at the newly built Hornsey Electricity station on Tottenham Lane in 1903.

This image replaces a rather inferior quality one originally posted in 2009.

Comment by Richard Woods on August 19, 2021 at 13:13: Amazing perspective effect - the chimney seems almost to be where North Harringay school is!

Comment by Geoffrey Walker on August 20, 2021 at 16:08: I went to North Harringay School 1959-65. I do not know when it was built but it would be on the left side in the distance if it was there at the date of the photo.

There’s a whole story to that power station, along with a set of photos.

Comment by Richard Woods on August 21, 2021 at 13:07: I had left by 1954 but walked up the road every day from 1948. Yes, like the power station chimney, it was on the left side as viewed in this image.
