In 1619, most of Tottenham was concentrated along High Road, also further north near the junction with Lordship Lane (then Berry Lane), and along the stretch from Park Lane (then Marsh Lane) to the boundary with Edmonton. It ran along the course of the Garbell Ditch.

East of High Road there were four houses at Page Green, more at the Hale, and a few along Marsh Lane as far as Asplins Farm, slightly east of what is now Northumberland Park station. Roses were grown along Marsh Lane, and elsewhere in the parish. The marshes themselves were deserted apart from Tottenham Mills, where flour and leather were made.
