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.

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.

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

What links a local historian-bookseller and the fastest man on a Penny Farthing?

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.

This site once served as the headquarters of Tottenham’s most popular local newspaper – the Weekly Herald. No longer in print, it is now a vital piece of publishing history.

A hidden stream, a Georgian school turned pub, and local enterprise; Scotland Green is a Historic Conservation Area with centuries of tales to tell.

Pioneering politics, artists, anarchists and queer spaces – South Tottenham has been home to them all!
