Tottenham Tales

From the beer taps of public houses to the hot and cold taps of public baths, this stretch of Tottenham High Road has a lot of stories to tell.

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

Grade II listed and a brilliantly preserved example of the 'Brewers Tudor' style, the Beehive was built in the inter-war years to give a more reputable image to public houses.

Behind the beautiful facades of these Georgian houses and beyond are over 200 years of fascinating tales from cloud watching, to pioneering women’s art, to disability rights action.

There is over a century of stories about the people and places that have made, and continue to make, Tottenham Hotspur the club it is today.

Did you know that Reynardson Court is named after a collection of 17th century almshouses?

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.

The historic Northumberland terrace – including Percy House and Dial House - stands in significant contrast to the futuristic Spurs Stadium.

Sid? Brian? The St Ann’s Snail? Whatever name you give it, the Snail Mural has become a permanent fixture of Seven Sisters Road.
