Munch and Listen
Enjoy our monthly lunchtime talks programme – just bring your lunch and listen!
Holy Wells, Hammermen and Holding the Devil By the Nose: A History of St Loys Road, Tottenham
- Monday 23 February, 12.15pm
Free, all welcome. Booking required. Arrive 12 noon for a 12.15 start.
In an ordinary street, close to Bruce Grove Station, hidden beneath a row of late 19th century housing, lies an ancient relic of Tottenham’s past.
You may have walked past without a second glance, scarcely noticing the road name, or perhaps even wondered who is St Loy? Here is meant to be a holy well, given a French saint’s name.
Where is the well now? And what on earth do horses have to do with it?
Bring your lunch, sit back and let life-long Tottenham resident and local historian Val Crosby answer these intriguing questions and many more.
Please book your free ticket for this in-person talk via Eventbrite.
For any queries, please email museum.services@haringey.gov.uk
