Upgrading works for the Hornsey Outfall Sewer, Fairfax Road (1903) When Harringay Park was sold off and Harringay House pulled down, the Harringay Ladder streets were laid out in their place. As the houses were built the space over the Hornsey Outfall Sewer became a footpath - Harringay Passage The photo shows work in the early 1900s between Fairfax and Frobisher roads; the houses had to be supported to prevent collapse. The number of coats hanging on the wall shows the job provided work for several men.
