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.

Our circular tour finishes at the Victoria pub, standing proudly in Scotland Green since 1851.

Meet: 10.15am to begin tour at 10.30am outside the Bluecoats Pub, 614 Tottenham High Road and corner of Scotland Green, N17 9TA

Please book your free ticket for this heritage walking tour via ticket tailor.

Please wear sensible footwear for walking and dress for the weather; bring a bottle of water with you.
