DISCOVER hidden nooks and crannies with new guide book Crouch End - Four Walks.
Written by local historian Eleri Rowlands and published by Hornsey Historical Society it will tour you on a quartet of rambles all starting and ending at the clocktower.
The 30-page book suggests four routes, centred around Park Road, Weston Park, Crouch Hill and Crouch End Hill, which are short enough to be completed in a couple of hours, accompanied by a colour coded map and photographs, some taken especially by Lesley Ramm and some from the society archives, which highlight key buildings and landmarks.
It replaces the society's previous book Crouch End Walk written by Ken Gay who died earlier this year, which was published in 1995.
Since then much has changed and the new book takes in the old and new with snippets such as the fact Tottenham Lane's Art House Cinema used to be a Salvation Army Citadel and in 1845, Haringey Park was the first road to be laid out in Crouch End since medieval times.
The book priced £4.50 is on sale now at Hornsey Historical Society, The Old Schoolhouse, Tottenham Lane, Crouch End.
