Arkady are the plans available to be viewed by members of the public or where they just a planning presentation at LB Islington?

Papa

Nice one Arkady, where's the Islington Crouch Hill Park stuff from - is it at the new school building site?<br>

Arkady

The maps and plans were up at the new school (or rather, in a portacabin on the site of the school) during the open day that was advertised here last year, and which I bumped a few days before. If people wanted a closer look they could try the contact on Islington’s website, or I know a man at the Crouch Hill Community Park Association that might have copies. Anyway, the plans will be in the public domain, and you can find the maps at Hornsey Historical Society.

I don't know if anyone else can see that stop SOPA business above, but I did not choose to put it there.<br>

A teensy bit 'off-thread' but this free, open lecture at the University of London School of Advaced Study's Institute of Historical Research might be of interest to some SG-ers: 28 February 2012, 5.15pm-7.15pm 'Private Housing to Council Housing: the development of the Campbsbourne Estate, Hornsey, North London, 1866-1965', John Hinshelwood (Hornsey Historical  Society) Full details: http://www.history.ac.uk/events/browse/seminars/10671

<font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">Actually I think it might be this view, looking towards a pre-war SGR/Tollington crossing.

If you mean the site where Nandos' is now, it was called the Osborne

Arkady

Let's start a campaign to demolish Nandos and rebuild that pub as it was.

wraylikefay

It was a dump!

Arkady

In its pre or post-war incarnation?

Papa

You reckon there's a junction just past that big building then Arkady? I can't quite see it - but apart from that would agree that's where it could be.

Arkady

I think so. There's a gap in the buildings, and I think the next building after the pictured pub is the now-missing 108 Stroud Green Road:<div><br></div><div><img src="http://www.exciting.org.uk/postcards/gsmith/gs13/gs1305.jpg"><br></div>

108 Stroud Green Road (where the Stroud Green Square is destined to be) was a grocery run by two very famous Arsenal footballers (brothers) before the war.  Anyone know who they were?<div><br></div>

<p>I notice that as you walk down Crouch Hill past Crounch Hill Station that the advert hoarding has been removed about the Station  House.  </p><p>This  reveals  brickwork which  looks like there  was once a pitched roof building and that it may have beeen  demolished to build the railway and station house.</p><p>Anyone know anything about when the line was built and whether I am correct?</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Arkady

I've noticed that too Ali - good question.

Papa

I see what you mean Arkady, that crossroads would have been much tighter then wouldn't. Wasn't thinking of that.<div><br></div><div><br></div>
