Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Manor Cottages, Watercolour 1900

The inscription on the rear says "Old Friends in Tottenham Lane, Dec 1900"

Manor Cottages stood opposite Harringay Farm, probably the former medieval manor house of Fernefields Manor, which stretched across to where Harringay is today.

Comment by Christina Davis on November 19, 2018 at 11:50: Always fascinating - I think this artist has made them look a lot more picturesque than they actually were from photos i've seen (if they were the ones near Holy Innocents roughly where a modern terrace called The Chimes now stands) ... thanks, Hugh, as always for putting them on.

Comment by Hugh on November 19, 2018 at 11:53: They were pretty picturesque, I think. Although if only includes the northern section of the cottages, see for example, this photo from 1894.
