My mother came out of Tottenham, out of road called Lorenco Road (now demolished). Now that had the nickname of "Little Russia" - why it had that name I don't know, but it was the roughest area. A lot of costermongers lived down there and the barrow boys and the fruit and vegetable people and they nearly all had horses and carts. The area was completely terraced, one end went into Pretoria Road, Tottenham and the other end went into Queen Street. There was an old pub there called the "Sun and Compass/The Three Compasses" (demolished).〔(The Three Compasses ) Retrieved 20 July 2014〕 It's still there and they tell me that they used to take their horses through the house and keep them in the back garden.
