Tottenham Tales

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.

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.

Hartington Park, thanks to community action and solidarity, went from demolition site to cherished green space for residents.
