Tottenham Tales

A night on the tiles, a trip to the cinema, or perhaps dancing into the early hours? The history of entertainment on Bruce Grove is a colourful one, still traceable in the buildings you see here today.

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.

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.

From the birth of professional nursing, to the founding of the NHS, to the labour movement of the 1980s - the life of the Prince of Wales Hospital tells a much larger story about British healthcare.

Take a look at some local history from behind the lens. From ballooning, to Alfred Hitchcock and Hollywood, to your home TV set, this part of South Tottenham has some fascinating tales to explore.
