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.

Demolished in 1956, Brook House is often overlooked as one of Tottenham’s great residences. There is a fascinating story of how the original 17th century building, which once stood near this site, developed over time.

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.

The Whitbread Brewery Clock Tower remains a distinctive landmark along the iconic heritage corridor that is Tottenham High Road.

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.

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

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

The Antwerp Arms is a hub for the local community, proudly looking over the 20 acres of historic parkland that surrounds Bruce Castle.
