Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Wassat? Spaceship Landing Pad?

On the banks of the New River just to the south of Seven Sisters Bridge. Is it river infrastructure or something else?

Looks like a WW2 gun emplacement, or may have been the base for a hoist.

The gun emplacement option was what I was wondering about.

My guess is it has something to do with flood protection. It looks like a cylindrical tube has been sunk and capped. i'd love to know.

Did you ever find out what those strange chimneys at the back of Wightman were for Hugh?.

I'm fairly certain its a vent either for a storm drain or the culverted Stonebridge Brook. (Most recent comments are here).
