A very
rare colour photograph taken by one of our regular contacts of the crowds assembled
outside the Tottenham' Royal' in 1961 |
|
Crowds
lining the street along Tottenham High Road in 1961 waiting for the triumphant
SPURS to parade their Trophy's in their Double winning year. |
|
The Bus
with the SPURS players parading their 'Double' winning Trophy's in 1961. This
picture was taken as the bus passed along Fore Street Edmonton. |
|
This an
extract from the North London Journal that announced the opening of the 'Bill Nicholson
Pub' in Park Lane Tottenham. Pictured on the front page is the legendary Dave Mackay who
was undoubtedly one of Bill Nicholson's finest players |
|
Many
SPURS supporters will remember the Public House of the same name that once stood along the
Roundway in Tottenham close to its junction with Lordship Lane. This is a photograph of the wonderful Pub Sign
that once stood outside. |
|
A
wonderful old photograph taken of the SPURS ground back in the 1920's. Note the houses still standing along Paxton Road
and Worcester Avenue long before the building of today's stands. |
|
I had
the good fortune to take a helicopter trip over the historic 'White Hart Lane' ground.
With plans already in place to replace this with a new state-of-the-art stadium it will
serve as a lasting memory of the wonderful games played here over the last century. |
|
This old
photograph dates from 1883 before the current stadium was built. The Red House still
stands at the entrance to the ground today. Just beyond the Red House is the entrance to
what was White Hart Yard and the Nurseries beyond where the football ground was later to
be constructed. |
|
This
photograph dates from 1965 and was taken at almost the same location as above. The
building to the right is the 'Tottenham & Edmonton Dispensary' which dates from 1864
and also precedes the building of the Spurs stadium. |
|
This is
yet another photograph dating from 1978 showing the Red House and the front entrance to
the stadium |
|
This
photograph dates from the 1920's and once again shows the Red House pictured to the right.
As mentioned above the front entrance had previously been know as White Hart Yard. |
|
This is
a more recent photograph and the entrance has now been renamed 'Bill Nicholson Way' in
memory of the former manager from the club's 'Glory Glory' days. |
|
This is
a copy of the architects drawing when plans were made to develop the stadium in
1934. This remains largely the footprint of today's stadium. |
|
This was
the new East Stand being constructed in 1934. The East Stand today is essentially the same
construction although modified a few times over the intervening years. |
|
This old
photograph that appears to date back to the 1920's shows the front entrance to the Spurs
ground on the left (now Bill Nicholson Way) and opposite the church of St Francis De Sales
on the corner of Brereton Road. |
|
Another
fine old photograph that should be recognised by any Spurs fans walking to the match from
the direction of the Edmonton boundary. The photographs shows Tottenham High Road leading south towards the
Spurs ground. On the left is the junction of Northumberland Park Road and on the right the
former offices of the 'Tottenham & Edmonton Herald' that occupied
this site for many years.
Once again the photograph appears to
date from perhaps the early 1920's. In the background, but not very clear in this reduced
size of picture, is an old tram alongside a horse-drawn cart. |
|
An old
postcard dating back to the early 1900's. Park Lane can be seen on the right just beyond
the lamp post. The shutters would be where the Spurs Megastore stand s today. |
|
Yet
another old postcard from the same era. To the left is Church Road and again Park Lane is
on the right and the awnings is where the megastore is today. A few more people in this
image. Perhaps it was a match day ! You can also just make out the Red House and Dispensary buildings at
the entrance to the ground in the background. |
|
This old
map of Tottenham dates from approx.1900 which closely coincides with the
move of the ground from Northumberland Park to its present position in Tottenham High
Road. In fact you will note that the open land north of Park Lane still shows the
nurseries that once occupied the site. |
|
Another
early map showing the location of the SPURS ground in Tottenham High
Road. Note that Worcester Avenue on the East side of the ground has
not yet been built and Paxton Road extends around the ground with houses also backing on
to the ground. |
