The original course of the New River* ran along the southern side of Hornsey High Street from Nightingale Lane, crossing the road in the area shown in the photo, then running under Image and into Image * The New River is neither new (having been built at the beginning of the 17th C) nor a river (it's an aqueduct supplying water to London, taken from the River Lea near Hertford and from Chadwell Spring, Amwell Spring, and other springs and wells along its course).
