When the Great Eastern Railway began its direct service from Liverpool Street to Enfield Town in 1872 dense grids of terraced streets like this soon began to appear in many of the areas that adjoined the railway such as Tottenham and Edmonton. Within thirty years the population of Edmonton had increased from 14,000 to 62,000. Taken in Shaftesbury Road not far from the railway.
