SUMMARY:Author Talk: Albert Pinching at the Big Green Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:Wood Green is now part of the lively borough of Haringey. 
 But in 1619, then part of the parish of Tottenham, it was a mere hamle
 t of houses on the periphery of Wood Green Common, which later became 
 the iconic Alexandra Palace and its park. However, it was close to a h
 ighway from London to Enfield and beyond, and it was as a result of th
 is that its commercial growth began, starting with a smithy in 1770.\n
 Coaching inns followed in the late eighteenth century, and by the nine
 teenth century the high road was full of shopping parades.\nResidentia
 l development was accelerated by the arrival of the railway in 1859, a
 nd in 1888 it became a borough in its own right, with a population of 
 23,000.  As Wood Green continues to thrive today, its history is reawa
 kened by local legend Albert Pinching’s wonderful new book Wood Gree
 n Through Time. Using images from the book, Albert has prepared a fasc
 inating presentation, taking us through the history of our beloved Woo
 d Green. There is very little that Albert doesn’t know about Wood Gr
 een. He is the author of “Wood Green Past”, “Discovering Old Woo
 d Green” & “Haringey’s Hidden Steams Revealed”, and is also re
 sponsible for the publications by the Hornsey Historical Society.  Thi
 s promises to be a fascinating evening.  Tickets are available at just
  £3, which is redeemable on any of Albert’s books or on any publica
 tion by the Hornsey Historical Society on the night.\n\nFor more info
