Middle class family living in Muswell Hill. c1890.
Alexandra Road runs beside Muswell Hill golf course.

Part of the southern section has been downgraded to a path but here at the junction, Clerkenwell met Tottenham and Friern Barnet at the junction of Queen’s Road - which was renamed Grosvenor Road.

The OS Boundary Remark Book shows that there was a stone of St James Clerkenwell dated 1757 here with a Friern Barnet post dated 1851 and on either side Tottenham Posts dated 1859 and 1851.

There were cow sheds were at the corner of Alexandra Road and Wetherill Road, later the property was owned by Manuel Lloyd who used the old sheds for the storage of cardboard cartons. Pigs were kept on what is now the golf course.
