| Hornsey
Historical Society |
Covers
the boroughs of Hornsey and Haringey, including Tottenham. Many interesting publications. |
| London
and North Middlesex FHS |
Self-explanatory.
|
| The
Samuel South Page |
The
Tottenham area was rich in brick earth, and the manufacture of bricks and flower-pots
was an important local industry in for many years. South’s of White Hart
Lane one of the last and largest companies involved in the latter. Ken Barker’s
site covers its history, and includes many unique photos. Lots of useful links,
too. |
| Downhills
School |
Jim
Franklin and others have put together a lovely site devoted to the old Downhills
School. |
| Tower
Hamlets History On-Line |
If
your family came to Tottenham in the 1870s, there’s a fair chance it was
from Tower Hamlets. This site has a mass of fascinating articles about the area. |
| Steeljam
Genealogy |
A
fantastic site for London history, both family and local. |
| John
Palmer’s Wirksworth Pages |
Absolutely
nothing to do with London, Middlesex, or Tottenham, but without question the most
comprehensive site devoted to a single parish on the entire web. My inspiration! |
| The
Worldwide Cemetery Page |
Dozens
of links to cemeteries across the world, including war graves. |
| Bruce
Castle Museum |
New
website, under construction. Bruce Castle’s permanent exhibitions include
locasl history, costume, and postal history (during the 19thc Rowland Hill and
his brother ran the school at Bruce Castle). |
| The
Edmonton Hundred Historical Society |
Lecture
programmes, local history publications. |
| Greenwood’s
1827 Map of London |
Sadly,
most of the free antique maps on the net aren’t worth the bother of downloading,
especially if your idea is to enlarge them. This is the splendid exception—pages
print out nice and clearly on A4, and require little or no adjustment in Photoshop,
etc. One moan—it doesn’t go out as far as Tottenham! |
| Commonwealth
War Graves Commission |
On-line
index of servicemen and servicewomen killed in WWI and WWII—includes civilians
killed in WWII. |
| Roy
Stockdill’s Introduction to Genealogy and Family History |
An
outstanding on-line guide for the newcomer to genealogy and family history—good
for the not-so-newcomer also. |
