Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Green Lanes at the bottom of Hewitt Road, c1940

Originally a black and white post card with a post office stamp dated 1944. Colourisation by yours truly

In what I think is 543 Green Lanes, the sign shows a sign for pies and eels. You'd think that this indicated that there was a shop there selling these fares. However, a look at the Kelly's directory of 1937 (and over the decade before) and the Post Office directory of 1948 suggests that the sign was just a hoarding ad for a business elsewhere.

Below are snippets from the Kelly's Directory for 1937 and the Post Office Directory of 1948. Here is a bit more information on the bakers at the corner.
