Magic Lantern Slides offer a Peek into Upper Middle Class Edwardian Life at The Laurels , Hornsey
I recently came across a marvellous set of late nineteenth and early twentieth century magic lantern slides. They show a slice of life inside the Laurels in Hornsey. I ve found mention of a Laurels in Tottenham Lane through a record of their selling a parcel of land to the Great Northern Railway Company.
Enjoy.
The map snippet below from the 1893 Ordnance Survey shows the location of the house.
The house was also shown on the 1869 map. By the early 20th century, it was being encroached on by the new electricity works next door (1938 OS below).
