Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Hornsey Loco Shed 1960

Taken from the Hampden Road end of the bridge at Hornsey Station. Smoke, soot, grime and coal dust everywhere. The local residents must have loved it!

If anyone is interested I can add more detail/history.

On occasion, led by an older sibling, we went down into the pits, under the engines itself. Great fun!

The lift was in the main ticket office towards the Tottenham lane end of the bridge!
