Happy 154th Birthday to Bruce Grove Station. The opening of the railway at Bruce Grove changed Tottenham....in a few years it became the home of many city workers who could commute into the city by train.

It's 124 years since the birth of Harry Beck, the man who gifted London (and the world) with one of the most iconic maps of all time. Have you visited his Blue Plaque in Leytonstone?

An enthusiastic group of 22 heritage walkers revisited the site of the infamous factories of Tottenham Hale on Sunday. The building of these factories encouraged thousands of Jews to settle in Tottenham for work, and build an infastructure to support the cultural needs of their community.

Leighton Park School was founded in 1890 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) as a direct successor to Grove House School in Tottenham, which had closed in 1877.

When Grove House School in Tottenham closed, efforts began to establish a new Quaker school. The original Grove House boarding house at Leighton Park was specifically named in recognition of the earlier Tottenham foundation. Additionally, the prominent Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse—who was an old boy of the Tottenham school—designed the original Grove House and its annexes at the Reading site.

Hot off the press!
Some good news!

Our Tottenham Heritage Walks prints will soon be available to purchase at the Little Shop in Bruce Castle Museum.

These prints are all based on original photographs taken on various Tottenham Heritage Walks, and many are of interiors of buildings that are not open to the general public, so they are truly unique.

A percentage of the sales will also go to Bruce Castle Museum & Archive

Ninety years ago, a young ground staff boy named Bill Nicholson first walked through the doors of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. — not knowing he would go on to shape its history forever.
From those humble beginnings to football immortality, his legacy still echoes through the game today.
Now, in his honour, a blue plaque will be installed at his childhood home in Scarborough — a lasting tribute to a true Spurs legend — with an unveiling set for July.
We’re proud to stand behind this campaign and help bring this recognition to life.
