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.

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.

Page Green has existed as common land since at least the 14th century, while the built landscape around it has transformed, playing host to reformers, activists and more.

Near this site stood Tottenham Community Project. A democratic publisher producing material for organisations advocating for women’s rights, anti-racism, worker’s rights and more; this was a hub for local grassroots campaigners.
