Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Seven Sisters Road - looking east towards Manor House 1961
The frog junction on the overhead where trolleybuses heading towards Turnpike Lane parted company from those travelling towards Stamford Hill & Tottenham. As more trolleybuses travelled towards Tottenham than Harringay, the overhead points were set per default in that direction. Conductors of buses towards Harringay had to pull the frog on the traction pole to change the points towards Harringay. An Indicator can be seen on the pole.

As a kid of 13 I used to get the 629 from from the stop round the corner from Hedge Lane on Green Lanes to go to Manor House and then a bus to Hackney where I went to Joseph Priestly Secondary Technical school in Chatham Place. I would get off the bus at the big church and walk through the graveyard and come out near the school. At that time the graves were being dug up and the stones moved to the walls to make an open park space. A couple of us got into trouble for taking a skull and some bones into school for a laugh. Looking back it was amazing that the workmen would leave remains exposed when they finished for the day.
