Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Green Lanes No 6 Woodberry Villa - near Manor House

Recently I bought this rather nice 15" x 20” auction poster advertising a clearance sale to gardeners, builders and others.

I wonder where 6 Woodberry Villa was?

The sale was on June 22nd on Thursday – I wonder what year?
An interesting lot for sale is, “Lot 29* Well made bicycle 54 inches, by Sassen”.

Today we would call this a Penny Farthing bike.

(Stassen “Nonpariel” 1873 - This 54" high wheel bicycle by London maker John Issac Stassen was considered state of the art in its time. It was the preferred mount of the London Bicycle Club

Hi roy,

A 6inch to mile O S map from 100 years ago will show where it was. Before the Woodberry down estate,  there were big houses on the site,
