All Videos on this channel ,Recorded with 4K HDR up to 60 FPS. Wood Green was first recorded in 1502 as a clearing on the edge of Tottenham Wood. Until the mid-19th century it remained an outlying hamlet in Tottenham parish, of much less significance than neighbouring Hornsey.
St Michael’s church was built in 1844 and the village began to grow in anticipation of the coming of the railway. Wood Green’s first station and school both opened in 1859, new roads were laid out north of the church and were lined with villas for the middle classes, while several charitable organisations built almshouses here.
Wood Green station and many neighbouring buildings were demolished to make way for Wood Green shopping city, a mall straddling the High Road, which elsewhere is flanked by a very mixed range of outlets. Cinemas and affordable restaurants have since broadened Wood Green’s leisure appeal - though its lure to shoppers has declined in the face of competition from retail parks along the North Circular.
For a century Wood Green was home to Barratt’s, the confectioners, but the company moved out in 1980 as part of a general trend for offices and shops to replace manufacturing as the district’s principal employers. Marked with a pin on the map below, Barratt’s former factory on Clarendon Road became the focus of the Wood Green cultural quarter. Several of the businesses based here function as production facilities for the creative industry rather.

I lived there 20 years ago, it's nice to see this place again❤

A good way to people watch. I didn't see anyone I knew though.... Lived, studied and worked in Haringey for 15 years altogether. But I think most of us moved on sooner or later. I do miss it sometimes

Glad you enjoyed it.
