Harringay 1896

And the last chance to link to much older maps, by comparing the last remaining field boundaries which are probably over 500 years old..

Look at the big comfortable houses along the east side of Green Lanes up to Colina. They didn't last long.

Just been looking at this 1902 map and in fact within 6 years all those open spaces were gone. Grand Parade was planned in 1899 and 2 years later had shops and dwellings. A phenomenal rate of growth.

I lived at 194 Stapleton Hall Road on the bend not far from the library at Quernmore Road, which was not built at the time of this 1896 map. I believe the remaining houses were completed by 1898.

As an aside, my wife lived at 156 Stapleton Hall Road, just beyond Oakfield Road, again not on the map. We both attended St Aidan’s Infants School, starting on the same day in 1952.
