Let our guide, Carol Hebbs, of Tottenham Heritage Walks, take you on a guided tour of 400 years of history around the village-like area of Scotland Green and Carbuncle Alley in Tottenham.

We start at Bluecoats, once a school, established in 1735, and today one of three pubs to be found on Scotland Green. We also explore the path of "Garbel Ditch" (recorded on the 1619 map of Tottenham), now a hidden part of the Moselle, which was diverted as early as the 15th century.

"That just about sums up the buildings around us today, whether mean terraces of houses or high-rise flats, futuristic stadiums, or maybe the mellowed elegance of our older buildings. Do we miss some of the buildings we grew up with, or are we happy with what has replaced them? Do you have a favourite – probably brick built – building? Perhaps houses such as those on the pioneering cottage garden estate of Tower Gardens Housing with grace and space. Or can you refer us to a more modern piece of architecture that you like?
