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.

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.

This corner of Tottenham High Road is symbolic for so many reasons, not least for the imposingly beautiful architecture of the Co-operative building.

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.

Near this site once stood a row of 17th century almshouses, later replaced by one of the High Road’s most iconic shopping destinations.

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

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.

Many residents still remember this iconic building, now called The Trampery, by its original name – The Tottenham & District Gas Company.
