<p>Following Geoff's research about the 20th century redevelopment of the Stanley Road and Culross Road area (see above), I renamed this post as "Origins of Stanley, Albany and Culross Roads".</p>
<p>I added the following explanation within the original post. </p>

<p>Oh you got my heart racing there Hugh ! I thought this item referred to origins of creation of the roads and subsequent development. I've been trying to find historic details of an actual building in Stanley Road (Harringay Road end). My paternal grandmother lived there with her 4 sons and one daughter and probably at one stage with a husband. She lived in a horrible old terraced block of flats, 2 storey, 2 or 3 blocks in the terrace, 4 flats in each block. I remember going there…</p>
<p>Oh you got my heart racing there Hugh ! I thought this item referred to origins of creation of the roads and subsequent development. I've been trying to find historic details of an actual building in Stanley Road (Harringay Road end). My paternal grandmother lived there with her 4 sons and one daughter and probably at one stage with a husband. She lived in a horrible old terraced block of flats, 2 storey, 2 or 3 blocks in the terrace, 4 flats in each block. I remember going there very early fifties, she died there in 1953. They looked ancient, dull and grotty in those days. Outside WC's. Possibly early Victorian origin ? They were demolished to make way for the school/flats development, I suppose sometime 70'80's. They were numbered 12A,B,C,D. A lovely old auntie lived opposite in Number 11. The right hand bottom end of Stanley Road bears no resemblance whatsoever of my memories. So do you have any findings/details Hugh of the "origins"?</p> Samantha, Geoff has very dili…tag:harringayonline.com,2020-06-11:844301:Comment:12494942020-06-11T15:51:29.286ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk
<p>Samantha, Geoff has very diligently follows up and found answewr to your question. He wrote the following:</p>
<blockquote>I did a quick search for Culross Road on the planning app, and it has come up with an application from 1971 for ‘Erection of residential development comprising 1 & 2 dwellings with 152 garages & 48 car park spaces.’ There is also an entry for July 1975 for ‘Provision of landscaping and the laying of footpaths under phase II environmental improvements.’ So that…</blockquote>

<p>Samantha, Have you tried going back to the insurance company and telling them approx 75-80? I think that would be accurate enough for them. The key thing is not to be dishonest. </p>

<p>Hi Samantha,</p>
<p>I haven't been around here as long as Hugh thinks! I moved in about 1985, and it was already there then.</p>
<p>I suspect that Hugh is about right - mid 1970s from talking to my partner, Liz.</p>
<p>It might be worth asking Bruce Castle Museum as they will have old maps that would help.</p>
