Last Remnant From The Past
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 12 Feb 2013
Inside the Railway Fields Local Nature Reserve, little remains to remind us of its former use as a Railway goods Depot except for these rails set into the cobbles. It started its life in 1868 as a coal depot. It became a goods depot circa 1880 when Green Lanes (now Harringay Green Lanes) Station was opened. . The depot consisted of a reception loop on the north side of the Barking to Gospel Oak line and a solitary siding surrounded by a cobbled loading area. These rails are part of that siding where it crossed the cobbled road leading up to the depot from Green Lanes. The depot closed on 3rd February 1964 and was derelict until Haringey Council purchased the land in 1975. It became a local nature reserve in 1990.
