I would like to discover and learn about the history of Bounds Green. I have only ever found books relating to Wood Green , Palmers Green andSouthgate.
As the deeds of my property show the house was built around 1853, Brownlow Road.
I do know others were built around this time.
The area belonged to a "Tottenham Farm", my house, and others, were built on the orchard and it has a well in the garden. This is about 20feet deep and 6ft in diameter. I have pumped it out, it is just ground water the garden has clay drainage pipes buried leading to the well.
If I can think of anything else I will add it on here.
Live in Gordon road, woodfield way. The land was purchased from the scouts, I think. You can see some of the original stained glass from 1930s in the properties.
