Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Hi. I'm a volunteer for London's Screen Archives, which is a network of various local borough archives and a few others. I've been cataloguing a film about Wood Green from the Haringey Archives for them, trying to work out where all the places are, dates, people etc. I've done as much as I can without expert advice from local residents & history buffs (i.e you), and perhaps a trip to the Archive at Bruce Castle after that. It's mainly archive photos and pictures, with live footage from the 1960s at the end.The soundtrack's been lost, so it can be a bit difficult to follow what it's all about. I've tried to make up for that in the description & the further information section. Any additional information or memories would be very welcome. I'm also going to post a few stills/questions on here to see if I can fill in a few blanks in my knowledge. The Changing Years

So let's start with this one - anyone know where this park is/was? Photo c.1906. Could be near Wood Green High Road, or near White Hart Lane - like pics to one side or the other. The houses to the left make it hard to match with any of the more obvious options e,g Woodside Park or Crescent Gardens.

Those interested in Wood Green's history can also view two picture albums here and here. There's also a film about the building of WG Shopping City here

Lets hope there's a film in the future about the demolition of shopping city

I've been using your picture albums extensively in my research. Thanks, Hugh.
