[edit] History Section

Good work Ucypanp. You seem to have put alot in to it.

Just a quick note to say that if you want a pic of Eel Pie House for the article, I can upload one and flick you the link. hjuk (talk) 00:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eel Pie House

Yes please! Ucypanp (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

On second thoughts, why not just add the image at a suitable place in the text? Ucypanp (talk) 01:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I've uploaded the image as Image:Eel Pie House.jpg hjuk (talk) 18:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Great, duly added. BTW (just to be academic) let me know if you have details of the original, i.e. artist, medium (watercolour?), owner, current location etc. :)) Ucypanp (talk) 19:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boundaries?

Ucypanp where do you draw the boundaries for SG? One of your photos suggests that in your view it goes at least as far north as Mountview Road. hjuk (talk) 19:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

For my contributions to this page I have based the boundary area on the description statement for what constitutes Stroud Green that is given in the Borough's Conservation Area rationale, quoted in the page itself: "The triangular area enclosed by Stroud Green Road and the Haringey/Islington border to the south and west, Mount View Road to the north, and the railway line to the east". This also seems to correspond very well with the references to Stroud Green that are given in the various volumes of the Victoria County History of Middlesex that I used as the primary sources for much of the historical information.Ucypanp (talk) 23:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like you have a clear rationale. I wasn't setting you up for a dispute.

It might be helpful if you stick your definition in the article. It's news to me for instance. I'd always thought of Stroud Green's northern boundary as being the railway line. But I'm not pretending to be an expert here. I know from my Harringay stuff that there are more than a few views. I came to the conclusion that the best definition of an area is where the locals say it is. hjuk (talk) 00:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for this feedback on my additions. As I said above, I do already quote the Borough rationale in the article itself, but wiil make it more prominent, and find a place for it at the top.

[edit] Womersley House

Does anyone know what occupied the site of Womersley House and grounds after it was demolished in 1960? There is development going on there now, (March 2008) but it is not clear to me what is being removed. Ucypanp (talk) 15:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
