Dist:0.4km north<br/>The railway bridge at the junction of Seven Sisters Road and St Ann's Road, South Tottenham. The bridge is unusual as it crosses the road junction diagonally. The railway (now part of London Overground) runs from Gospel Oak to Barking. The station here, called "St Ann's Road", was a wartime casualty, closing on 9 August 1942. The nearest station is now South Tottenham, less than a mile away on Tottenham High Road.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Note the barrels outside -- someone will buy them, pack them full of items that are cheaper here than in the Caribbean and ship them off to relatives or friends over there. In the Caribbean most consumer goods have to be imported and are much more expensive in real terms than they are here. You will sometimes hear the expression "sending a barrel over" and this is what's meant. The emptied barrel then sits outside the recipient's house. But as you can see, it starts the journey outside shops like these. This unit was once part of a large department store called "Ward's", which is why the area is still called "Ward's Corner". There was a cinema the other side of Seven Sisters Road called the "Corner Cinema".

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Many of the houses round here have loft conversions like these -- they are likely to be occupied by a single but large family unit.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This wonderful old picture taken of West Green Road in the Coronation year of 1953 appears to have been taken from an almost identical spot to a more recent photograph of West Green Road in this grid. Contrast and compare ! Image reproduced courtesy of Bruce Castle Museum.
