Lordship Lane - originally Berry Lane - led to Tottenham’s manor-house, the church and a nearby farm.

Lordship Lane began as a track running from a forest clearing at Wood Green to Ermine Street, the main Roman road from London to the north east. It was named after the Lord of the Manor whose manor house (Bruce Castle) was on Lordship Lane.

By the turn of the seventeenth century, the land to the north and south of Lordship Lane had been cleared of woodland and was mostly in cultivation. The lane was mostly then called Berry Lane although its modern name was first recorded in 1526.

Lordship Lane now connects Wood Green with Tottenham High Road and forms part of the A109 road.

Momentous Birth!
I was born in the upstairs front room of 28 Tyrrell Avenue in August 1938. I was a breach birth and quite heavy ( poor Mum!). My parents moved to that end of terrace house from another rental in St Mary Cray where my three year older brother had been born in 1935. The estate was quite new in 1938 and all the properties were rented. My Father was a Postman. I grew up at no 28 all through WWII and later went to Little Dansington School

Tenant at Westbourne (1807 - 1811)
I think that the 3rd Marquess Townshend - at that time Lord Chartley - was a tenant living either at Westbourne Manor or at Bridge House. He undertook considerable building work there as well as creating gardens. I am trying to trace which house it was. Any ideas gratefully received

Late opening
The tracks through Roding Valley were opened on 1 May 1903 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on its Woodford to Ilford line (the Fairlop Loop).

But the station was not opened until 3 February 1936 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER, successor to the GER).

Shhh....
Roding Valley is the quietest tube station, each year transporting the same number of passengers as Waterloo does in one day.

The deepest station
At 58m below ground, Hampstead is as deep as Nelson’s Column is tall.
