The Gilpin's Bell, 50-54 Fore Street, Upper Edmonton, London N18
This rather grim looking building (on the outside) is occupied by a J D Wetherspoon public house known as The Gilpin's Bell. According to their website, the name recalls the Bell Inn, which stood on the west side of Fore Street. That pub was immortalised by William Cowper in his best-selling 18th-century ballad "The Diverting History of John Gilpin". J D Wetherspoon opened this pub in 1998. Being near the Tottenham Hotspur football ground, on match days it is only open to home match day fans.

Parkstone Avenue, Upper Edmonton
The development of this area with a network of terraced streets proceeded apace from when the railway opened in the early 1870s until the period between the two World Wars. Parkstone Avenue typifies some of the later housing.

Hawthorn Road, Upper Edmonton
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.

Pretoria Road North, Edmonton
Pretoria Road North, photographed as darkness fell on a dull and wet December afternoon, is a minor road in the suburbs of north London.
The change in the speed limit, indicated by the 30mph sign, and signs indicating a change to parking restrictions, are a clue that the road crosses a borough boundary here. The area in the foreground is in the London Borough of Haringey but the background is in the London Borough of Enfield.

LT's Bar (formerly the Phoenix), 56 Fore Street, Upper Edmonton, London N18
Another local pub which understandably supports the home football team, Tottenham Hotspurs. This pub was for many years known as the Phoenix. It appears as such in the 1911 census. It was also in the 1891 census but no name is given. It was described as a beerhouse. Close examination of the stonework at the front, between the ground and first floors, appears to show carvings of a phoenix. Unfortunately they have been semi-obliterated with dark blue paint.
