<p>Some of you might recall that maps of the area from the early nineteenth century show a "pinery" on them in the vicinity of what is now Hornsey station, on the western side of the railway. It's my understanding that this one belonged to Harringay House, and would have been where the succession of bankers that owned the estate (none of whom seemed to keep their wealth for long) grew their status symbols - pineapples.

<p>A <a href="https://www.newspapers.com/clip/2826178/times_21_nov_1881/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">newspaper article from 1881</a> refers to the deaths (with open verdicts of "Found Drowned" in the New River) of Katherine Fitzpatrick, a housekeeper who worked in Clarendon Road, and her daughter Kate.

<p>This <a href="https://maps.nls.uk/view/102345952" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1873 map</a> shows Harringay House and I believe its private estate/grounds/gardens were known as Harringay Park.</p>

<p>The newspaper article suggests that Katherine Fitzpatrick was last seen crossing the railway bridge at Hornsey - if that means Hornsey rail station then I guess Harringay Fields would be the area to the north of Harringay Park. Although I suppose its possible that the bridge in question may have been the one which is now Endymion Road, in which case Harringay Fields might refer to the area south of Harringay Park.</p> Harringay House Map Copies on Offer Againtag:harringayonline.com,2015-07-27:844301:Topic:7763282015-07-27T13:35:41.066ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk

We won the auction on eBay and were able to donate the map to Bruce Castle Museum.</p>
<p>Before giving it away, I had an archival quality copy made by the London Metropolitan Archives. They also printed us some copies on archival quality map paper. A number of the original purchasers got a copy along with a few other locals.</p>
<p>In the ensuing few years I've had a number of people ask if they can get a copy. I've been dragging my feet getting it organised, but I'm now putting out this feeler to see if there's enough interest to get the LMA to do another run.</p>
<p>The LMA did a fantastic job last tiime round. They preserved the character and feel of the map and rendered the detail splendidly.</p>
<p>If you're interested in getting a copy for your wall, we can get them done at the same price as last time which was £95 for the half actual size, (37" x 25" approx) and £145 for the full size version (54" x 37" approx).</p>
<p>Please drop me a note at hugh@harringayonline and if there's enough interest I'll organise another run.</p>

<p></p> Harringay House Gatehouse or its Ghost?tag:harringayonline.com,2015-06-01:844301:Topic:7573142015-06-01T19:15:59.136ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk
<p>idling away at a few old maps and Google Earth the other day (as history nerds are wont too often to do), I noticed a buiding that was slightly out of alignment with all the others around it - only slightly, but enough to raise a metaphorcial eyebrow. It's that wee little building, just beyond the Church at the bottom of Alison Road, behind the Turkish Bank.…</p>

<p></p>
<p>Looking at my 1869 map, I saw that the building was close to where a pair of gatehouses for Harringay House used to stand (and yes they've spelt 'Haringey' House the Council way. No idea why. All other mentions and maps in this period used our spelling). </p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2058681113?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2058681113?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Next I took an 1893 map that's been overlaid on Google Maps. The overlay shows how very accurate the old map was. Where old buildings have survived, there's almost an exact match between the 1893 map and Google Earth.</p>
<p>The 1893 map seems to show the northern gatehouse surviving and what I assume are the gates and gateposts next to it. The southern gatehouse doesn't appear, but the little building I noted on Google Earth appears to be in the exact same place as the gatehouse would have been. Its slight misalignmemt then makes sense as it would have aligned with the older structures.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2058681406?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2058681406?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>So the small building that still stands today is in the exact same postion as the southern gatehouse would have been, but it wasn't shown on the 1893 map - the one that had been drawn with such care and accuracy. Does that mean there's no chance that the gatehouse could have survived? Could a late 18th Century gatehouse from Harringay House really have survived? I couldn't believe it.</p>
<p>Even if the structure itself wasn't the eighteenth century one, it seems at the very least to have been built on the footprint of the gatehouse and so gives us pinpoint accuracy of where the old entrance to Harringay House was. Walk in though the passageway to Cafe Ora, and when you reach the end of the passage you're about at the gates to the old house.</p>
<p>I wanted more than just a ghost however. So, I popped down today to have a mosey around. A big thank you to Rev'd Adedayo Ige who was enormmously helpful in enabling me to get a look around the outside of, let's call it the "gatehouse" building. I was also able to get a view of it from Cafe Ora.</p>
<p>My initial thoughts were that what is there now is Victorian, but I'd like to be convinced otherwise. There's clearly an older building, the "gatehouse" and joined to it to the north is another building. The bricks of the "gatehouse" building are finer than the one attached to it and it looks like they've either been painted or rendered at some point in their past. Here are the iPhone snaps I took.</p>

<p></p>
<p>So, nothing here that enables me to claim a eureka moment. I'm still highly sceptical, but you can also hear me grasping at what may be straws, but I don't want to discount what may be a posiibility. </p>
<p>I also wonderd at the fact that the building was two-storey. When I think of a Georgian gatehouse, I think of single-storey buidlings a bit more like these:</p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>But then I looked around and saw that they came in all shapes and sizes. In fact the shape of the gable ends on this one look very simillar to what's shown in Picture 2 of the "gatehouse":</p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Ach, I don't know. It would be fun if, but the chances seem slim........ At the very least, now when I walk past Ora, I can look up to where the big house was up there at the top of the hill between Hewitt and Allison roads and, through the exceptionally fine gardens, just make out the classical facade and wonder whether any of the oranges, peaches or pineapples growing in the glasshouses are ripe.</p>

<p>Bethany also explained how copies were made, including one to be stored at St Paul's Harringay so that a copy would be stored in Harringay and then the original was given to the archive at Bruce Castle Museum where it can be viewed by appointment in their archive room.</p>
<p>There were some observations from the floor from former residents of Harringay including one recalling that sharing of our houses was always common and that although his family owned the house, they only lived downstairs while they rented out the upper floor. </p>
<p>Bethany also pointed out some places of interest marked on the map including the location of the hot houses where the super luxury item <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/group/historyofharringay/forum/topics/harringay-house-hot-houses" target="_blank">pineapples were grown</a> and where the original iron church of St Paul's Harringay was erected in Burgoyne Road, I think around about where the NHS clinic is on that road, before the late Victorian building on Wightman Road was built.</p>
<p>It was a fascinating talk and very much enjoyed by the audience, (including a Twitter one as I was tweeting out some of the main points) and thanks to Bethany for doing such a great job!</p>

<p><span class="font-size-2">The 1885 Harringay map was acquired via an ebay auction by a consortium of Harringay Online members. All were keen to ensure that it was 'saved for the neighbourhood'. One of the agreements made by the group was that after taking copies, the original map would be given to Bruce Castle Museum. Today that promise was fulfilled when I went up to the museum with a couple of consortium members for the handover. </span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-2">Deborah Hedgecock (Curator) and Clare Stephens (Archivist) were delighted with the gift. Deborah told me, "It's wonderful when we're given donations like this.

<p>I saw the approval copies of the Harringay Park map today which I got done for Rob Tao to use for tomorrow's consultation event. Both Rob, who's a professional printer, and I were impressed. The LMA have done a fantastic job.</p>

<p>Printing on map paper, they've preserved the character and feel of the map and have rendered the detail splendidly.</p>
<p>If you've ordered one I think you won't be disappointed. If you haven't yet placed an order and wished you had, the LMA are now saying he bulk of the order will be ready by next Friday. So, I may be able to sneak an order or two in under the wire.

<p><strong><span class="font-size-4">The Map</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The plan covers the Harringay Ladder from Endymion Road to Hewitt Road. The northernmost two roads are not shown in their entirety. The southernmost roads show any houses built as of 1885. Further north, some roads show the division of land into building plots whilst others are yet to reach even that stage. The map is surrounded by blocks of text. Full size copies of the text will be provided with any half size maps purchased.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">I'm afraid, it's not cheap, but the half size, for example, is not much more than maps of a significantly smaller size sold by the Museum of London, despite the small print run we're doing. So, we're not doing as badly as I feared.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">All proceeds from the sale of the map will in the first instance be returned to the consortium of local people who joined together to buy it on ebay. The consortium want any excess to be used to the benefit of the community. </span></p>
