<p>I recently came across a mention of what is probably the predecessor of this boundary marker, from five years before this one was erected. </p>
<p>It's on lines 9 to 11 in the following advert for the 8th or 9th sale of land on the Harringay Park Estate. It's referred to as a starting point for a footpath between the <a href="https://harringayonline.com/photo/the-queen-s-head-watercolour-1882" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Queen's Head</a> and Hornsey Station.…</p>

<p>So it was local after all!</p>
<p>Of course in 1887/88, the Ladder wasn't finished and the <a href="https://harringayonline.com/photo/the-old-queens-head" target="_blank" rel="noopener">18th century Queen's Head</a> was still standing. I suppose we can assume that marker 41 was one of those shown behind the old pub in the 1893 map below.</p>

<p>And it looks like that spot would have ended up in the garden on 93 or 95 Falkland Road or possibly 100 Frobisher Road. I have no idea how it moved from there to a builder's skip! Can anyone cast any light on this mystery?</p>
<p>It's about time I thanked Reuben (formerly working in Harringay, now of Hunters Stoke Newington Church Street) who rescued the marker and passed it on to me.

<p>That’s a lovely thing Hugh.
