Places of interest in Tottenham, N17
Northumberland Park was opened on 15 September 1840 as a Halt on the Northern & Eastern Railway. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station was originally named Marsh Lane after the country lane to Tottenham Marshes on which it is situated. In June 1852, it was re-named Park station, eventually being re-named to its current title, Northumberland Park on 1 July 1923, this is also the name of the surrounding district, in Tottenham, North London. The station is immediately south of one of north London's few remaining level crossings. The station is a short walk from White Hart Lane stadium of Tottenham Hotspur F.C..
The high cross was constructed of plain brick, in an octagonal, four level design, which was later stuccoed and ornamented in the Gothic style in 1809.
White Hart Lane is an all-seater football stadium in Tottenham, London, England. Built in 1899, it is the home of Tottenham Hotspur and, after numerous renovations, the stadium has a capacity of 36,310.
Clapham North tube station is a London Underground station in Clapham. It is on the Northern Line between Clapham Common and Stockwell. It is in Travelcard Zone 2. The station is close to Clapham High Street railway station although there is no direct interchange link.
In 1963 the Glass Age Development Committee commissioned a design for a replacement bridge at Vauxhall,[23] inspired by the design of the Crystal Palace,[24] to be called the Crystal Span.[21] The Crystal Span was to have been a seven story building supported by two piers in the river, overhanging the river banks at either end.[25] The structure itself would have been enclosed in an air conditioned glass shell.[21] The lowest floor would have contained two three-lane carriageways for vehicles, with a layer of shops and a skating rink in the centre of the upper floors. The southern end of the upper floors was to house a luxury hotel, whilst the northern end was to house the modern art collection of the nearby Tate Gallery,[26] which at this time was suffering from a severe shortage of display space.[21] The roof was to have housed a series of roof gardens, observation platforms and courtyards, surrounding a large open air theatre.[24] The entire structure would have been 970 feet (300 m) long and 127 feet (39 m) wide.[23][27] Despite much public interest in the proposals, the London County Council was reluctant to pay the estimated £7 million (£109 million as of 2010) construction costs, and the scheme was abandoned.[8][21]
