Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
London Picture Archive
I'm sure I'm coming to this late, but - there it is - I've just discovered the great online resource that is the London Picture Archive:

This photo of the interior of the Salisbury Pub from 1976 is just one of the many many pictures produced by searching for "Green Lanes London":

Thanks Peter. This is the collection of the London Metropolitan Archives which used to be published on the Collage website. It looks like it's been revised and rebranded.
Rather strangely, their map view offers a picture of a house called Tottenham House at a location just by Colina Road. As far as I can see it's Tottenham House in Tottenham Park, near Marlborough, Wilts. I've sent LMA a note to question the inclusion of this picture.

There were several mistakes on the map, including having Hornsey Wood House on Priory Road. I wrote to let them know and they’ve written back with graceful thanks saying that they have/or will correct the mistakes. They explained that reworking the site has been done by volunteers, so that mistakes are more likely.

It's a great website but I could spend all day writing to them pointing out errors. Some of them are peculiar. I found a photo of Chelsea Fire Station, where the location is wrong in the title and description, and it was placed on the map in Clapham.

Just had a quick look at the archives and immediately found a wonderful old photo of my Nans house in Hoxton. She brought up 6 kids in this 1 bedroom house above a shoe shop. She used to "mind" me as a kid when Mum went to work at Kleinerts in Moorgate and every day we went shopping down Hoxton market. It seemed to me she knew everybody down there as they all called her Dolly (5'4"), but she commanded great respect among the stall holders and God help anyone who tried to pass off any rubbish goods or produce to her. Great memories of the very early 60's. Thanks again Hol.

It’s amazing to think that the 1899 was as close to the Victorian years as we are today to 1960. There was a lot of Victorian infrastructure and attitudes in the 1960s that has since been swept away.

A performance of 'Merrie England' at the Finsbury Park Open Air Theatre 1947

A set of memories, a brochure and photo of the 1949 performance of Merrie England was posted here. Assuming that LMA volunteers have the date of the footage right (see comments above), then Merrie England must have been performed over multiple years.

I just looked a the full version of the film on YouTube. Not that it really matter, but I suspect that the volunteers could have got it wrong and that the performance we're looking at is the same 1949 one that Mike Ellis remember his father taking part in. I'll check with LMA
