<p>Shortly before the sale advertised in 1866, an advert was placed noting the death of John Black of Woodbury Lodge:</p>

<p>Re Stephen's <em>Woodbury Town</em>, I just stumbled across an old house sale ad from 1866. It refers to a house called <em>Woodbury Lodge </em>near the junction of Seven Sisters Road and Hanger Lane.</p>

<p>As foreseen in the 1866 sale ad, the property was quickly demolished for building. Its name was apparently remembered in a couple of streets and a building, showing on the 1893 map.</p>

<p>So, whatever spelling was used, Woodberry was apparently used as a place name from Green lanes in the west, (where the Green Lanes itself was called Woodberry Vale south of Seven Sisters Road, according to the 1869 map), all the way north-east up to the junction of Hanger Lane (St Ann'sRoad) and Seven Sisters Road. </p> Good spot!
