Old drinking fountain and cattle trough in Hornsey
The inscription above the water fountain reads "Presented to the parish of Hornsey by Maria Hawes Ware 1863". In the 1830's Maria Hawes Ware profited from the abolition of slavery. Her late husband had been a significant slave owner in British Guiana and after a legal battle, like many other slave owners, she was awarded handsome compensation by the British government.

The Great Northern Railway Tavern, Hornsey N8
A grade II listed building from about 1900. To the right is Cross Lane, with the name of one of its once major addresses over the entrance. The Smithfield Refrigerator Works was on a site to the west of the lane which is now redeveloped as flats. Little seems to be available about the activities of the company, and when it closed down here is uncertain, possibly the 1960s - the large premises were mapped as a warehouse by the 1970s/80s. It produced commercial refrigerators (at least) under the name Smithfridge.
