  The Shaftesbury has some great ones - perhaps you could ask them where they got them from. I was wondering it myself when looking at them last weekend.

  The White Lion has a great collection too. You could ask where they got theirs from.

  There used to be a very good picture of the Victorian Stapleton taken from where the Docs Surgery is across the diagonal. It used to hang in the Dairy near to the doors that lead to the upstairs in the ante room with the big fireplace. I have always thought it was a great picture which blown up would be amazing. Problem is the last time I looked it was not hanging where it was so may be somewhere else on the walls. These might help <http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/2452/old-photographs/>; <http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/773/stroud-green-and-crouch-end-stations/>;

  Upnorth where I'm originally from the local newspapers keep really long archives (they even have about 4 pages on a Saturday dedicated to a section called 'all our memories,' it's full Last of the Summer Wine territory and makes me feel slightly nauseous) but anyway the point is I would try the Islington Tribune and Gazette and whatever the Haringey equivalents are...

  Big Green Bookshop stocks a couple of old Stroud Green postcards which could be blown up - <http://www.biggreenbookshop.com/postcards/stroud-green-road-c-1914/prod_149.html>; Interesting that Fish and Cook used to be on SGR. Wonder when it moved.

  They often sell old photos, organized by postcode in <a href="http://www.leadenhallmarket.co.uk">Leadenhall Market</a> by Monument.
  
  For an aerial shot, you can get WW2 Luftwaffe aerial pics from the 1940s. <a href="http://www1.getmapping.com/Webshop/Web/CommonPages/Main/preview.aspx?srid=27700&x=531132&y=186876&searchType=">Try here</a>, zoom out one level to see Finbury Park station, then click 1940's high res.

  That's amazing. Shame it doesn't go all the way up SGR.
