For Sale: Book - Campbell Bunk: The Worst Street in North London Between the Wars (Unused / Brand New)
NOW SOLD
I finally got round to buying a copy of this wonderfully interesting book about a street in Finsbury Park.
The first seller I ordered it from got back to me and said that they only supply educational establishments. They said they d cancel the order and refund my payment.
Without waiting to confirm, I ordered a copy elsewhere. Lo and behold, today I find that I have two copies.
The store who acted in error is happy to collect the book and refund me. But I thought first I d check to see if anyone wants it locally.

The development of the Harringay Ladder was tightly controlled, both by the covenants imposed by the land vendor, the British Land Company and through the supervision of building quality by Hornsey & Tottenham Councils. Some of the builds were considered so poor that Hornsey Council had the builders tear down some houses and start again.
With the exception of churches, schools, council work depots and retail development along Green Lanes and at either end of Wightman Road, almost all of the initial development on the Ladder was residential in nature. There was however one exception to this: a non-residential zone created between the back-gardens of the houses at the eastern end of the the Effingham-Beresford block.
