Wonder if it's more likely to be in Harringay than Seven Sisters?

A good part of Eade Road has long been locally referred to as Harringay, annee. For example, if you look at the old records, most of the businesses that were based on Vale Road, Eade Road and nearby roads used Harringay as their address. Likewise old newspaper reports referred to the area as Harringay and on the occasion you see old post cards etc addressed to those roads, it was usually Harringay.

At its western end, on one or two occasions I've seen Finsbury Park used historically as the postal address. At its eastern end, it's a toss-up between Harringay, Stamford Hill and South Tottenham. To some of the fast changing warehouse occupants today, it's Manor House.

Same with Hermitage Road; one end is Harringay, the other is South Tottenham or St Ann's (depending on your point of view). 

But you live in that neck of the woods, call it what you will!

Eade Road is probably on another planet annee but really, it looks like half in Harringay, half in Seven Sisters. The whole area will probably be re-named when they build all those residential towers in the warehouse areas over the next 10 - 20 years; 'New River View'?

Tom Edwards has a really boring voice

They should have got the construction worker to do the voiceovers

Any ideas what will happen to the Eade Road site once they remove all the construction material?

According to Hugh's pictures from 2011 'Project ends - Late 2015: Cables will be energised and site returned for re-use'. Though the BBC report says "due to be operational in 2018".
