Tottenham Tales

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.

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.

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.
