Discovering the Original Little Russia in Tottenham: A Walking Jewish History Tour

Tottenham Heritage Walks and Bruce Castle Museum and Archive bring you a free and fascinating walk looking at Jewish history around Tottenham Hale.

Starting by the High Cross monument, they will be looking at stories of Jewish families who moved from the East End to settle in Tottenham, in the streets around the Hale, the High Road and Lansdowne Road.

They moved, in their thousands, to work in the large, Jewish-owned factories that sprung up in Tottenham Hale at the turn of the 20th century, including Harris Lebus, Gestetner, Flatau and Eagle pencils.

They will highlight important places that supported the community including the former High Cross Synagogue and the Jewish Home and Hospital, and other local businesses. We look at the lives and achievements of families who lived in the area, particularly those in Colsterworth Road, and other notable individuals.

This is a circular tour which begins by the High Cross monument, at 373 High Road N17 6QN.

Meet at 10.45am to start at 11am. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours.
