This is another view of the former Institute looking at the other end of the building and in the opposite direction to Image Of interest at the far left of the photograph is a pair of unusual four storey Victorian townhouses.

One would expect to find a building like this in Oxford or Cambridge, but not in Edmonton! However this is the former Charles Lamb Institute founded in 1908 to commemorate the writer, who lived in Church Street from about 1828 until his death here in 1834. The building is now used by the Tower Gym. The memorial stone records the architect as J[ohn]S[amuel] Alder.

Three blocks of large Victorian townhouses can be seen on the north side of Church Street between Stanley Road and Arthur Road. The terracotta coloured tablet in the side wall of the nearest group has the date 1881.

The fire station is at 99 Church Street, N9, and is operated by the LFB (London Fire Brigade), who themselves are run by the LFEPA (London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority).

Built in 1907-1908 to the designs of architect J.S. Alder. (Ref: Buildings of England. London 4: North (1998), p. 429). For an extensive account of the building consult this http://www.nccedmonton.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Charles-Lamb-Institute-lores.pdf.
