Tottenham Tales

The Parish Pump, Holy Trinity Church and School have all stood witness to Tottenham’s transformation from village to high-density urban landscape.

Proto-feminists, progressive educators, union solidarity, and a skeleton horse? The history of the High Cross area is bold and sometimes bizarre.

In front of you are three of Tottenham High Road’s many historic buildings, each with their own story to tell - Tottenham Community Sports Centre, Moselle House, and the Baptist Church.

Suffragettes, LGBTQIA+ icons and more; this small pocket of Tottenham holds some surprisingly radical stories.

From the birth of professional nursing, to the founding of the NHS, to the labour movement of the 1980s - the life of the Prince of Wales Hospital tells a much larger story about British healthcare.

For centuries, Tottenham Green has played host to progressive educators, revolutionary medical professionals and patrons of art.
