Haringey’s Hidden Streams retraces the routes of Haringey’s several natural streams which once flowed in the open from the “northern heights” of Highgate and Muswell Hill. Those streams are mainly now underground.
Surviving evidence of their original routes is described in the book. This is embellished by almost 100 illustrations which include early prints and maps, past and present photos and historical references.
