Not Harringay, but I couldn t resist sharing this. (Although I m assured that these vehicles were in regular use for grocery deliveries from Green Lanes, ahem!)
We thought e-scooters were new. Not a a bit of it. In 1917, a New York Company realeased the Autoped Scooter, ninety years before the first Peugot e-scooter was seen.

ANOTHER FACTOID
Is it really true that the Great Wall of China can be seen from space? No, it can t.
The myth originated in 1904 in Henry Norman’s The People and Politics of the Far East. It was reinforced in 1938 in Richard Halliburton’s Second Book of Marvels - The Orient and resurfaced once more during the Apollo moon landings and shuttle era.
In 2003 China’s first astronaut Yang Liwei was disappointed when he couldn’t see the Great Wall from space, but in 2004 Leroy Chiao saved the day by taking a photo of it through a telephoto lens from the international space station.
