  Hatty Scott Added: 12 Jun 2023 11:29 GMT | Highgate High Street, N6 Highgate rises to 400 feet above sea level and is the highest point for miles around. The gate was a tollgate erected by fourteenth-century Bishops of London in their capacity as Lords of the Manor of Hornsey. On entering the Manor all travellers were charged at one of three check points : the first was the Gatehouse Tavern at Highgate, the second was the tollhouse outside the Spaniards Inn in Hampstead Lane, and the third lay at the far end of the Bishop’s Avenue, near East Finchley Station. The Highgate toll was very profitable, since it commanded Highgate Hill and Highgate High Street, then the main route to the north. Highgate Road and its continuation Highgate West Hill are comparatively modern, dating from about 1700. Reply |
