Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Getting tired of calling Haringey council again and again to report people urinating opposite our house.

Have called them multiple times over the last two years and still the problem is there. The shop on the corner needs to be closed as they sell the alcohol to these people, they drink outside the shop, then urinate on the wall and go home.

Enough is enough. Something must be done about this.

Blimey - I've never seen that sign. Is it no longer in use?

It's gone now. Gus, the guy who runs the Silver Bullet, is the Sheriff of Hazel Mews and it's no longer needed. Background here.

The thing is - so many of the public toilets have been closed by the Council and sold off. For example, I can think of the ones at the bottom of Muswell Hill, bottom of Middle Lane, Finsbury Park at Green Lanes / Seven sisters, Apex Corner. Chestnuts is hardly ever open, Turnpike Lane bus station is hardly ever open.

I don't condone wild urinating but I can understand why it happens.

Public toilets are so often congregating points for sexual activity which local residents may feel threatened by. I understand why the council gets rid of so many of them. Perhaps we need more Paris-style pissoirs where there is a degree of privacy, but concealment is not possible

That's a point John but I don't remember there ever being public toilets along Green Lanes before (or down the streets of the ladder) and don't remember people peeing so often as now. So I don't think the closure of those loos really is explain for Harringay becoming an open air toilet in recent years. 

The Green Lanes / Seven Sisters toilets are now a café at the Finsbury Park gate. I suppose that's Hackney or Islington.

Well there is another explanation, but I would get howled down if I suggested it.

Ah yes, the former loos where now a cafe stands. Thanks for reminding me of that which I'd forgotten. Best not to get howled down John.... 

Risk the howls, John D.  I'm open to learn something.

There was a public loo behind The Salisbury on St Ann’s Road too

I’m intrigued - I live just down the way and I can’t see where this might have been... was it actually part of the pub building?

It’s the blank bit of wall (I think an old doorway survives) between the shop at the rear of the Salisbury that was a barbers and the MOT Centre 

Yeah I investigated earlier and saw same and it clicked - thanks Michael.
