The destruction of Tottenham's buildings isn't just a sentimental loss | Lucy Inglis

Tottenham developed rapidly from a small village during the Georgian period, into a place of cheap housing for ordinary workers in the Victorian period. It was much influenced by the railways and built to be inhabited by people who were never far from the breadline. They did, however, live in a time when there was an abundance of work for the unqualified and unskilled, even if it was poorly paid.
