Title
Council offices and shops in Tottenham High Road
Description
View of High Road, Tottenham looking north across the junction with Lordship Lane on the left and Lansdowne Road on the right. The offices of Haringey's Environmental Health Services offices at 639 High Road on the left, built in 1901 originally as the headquarters of the Tottenham District Light, Heat and Power Company. The neo-Jacobean building is Grade II listed, listing number 1079205, and is now known as the Trampery Enterprise Centre containing numerous business spaces. The Art Deco style former department store, on the right at number 638, was originally built in 1930 for the London Cooperative Society, seen in use as a discount carpet store, currently a branch of Sports Direct. The richly detailed white rendered façade has a prominent square corner tower with Tuscan pilasters and entablature. The base of tower has a square panel with the Co-op logo of intertwined letters ‘LCS’ and ‘1930’ hidden by an "Open to all" sign. The large metal windows incorporate panels between first and second-floor that also incorporate the LCS logo. The building, known as the 'Carpetright store', was all but destroyed by fire during the Tottenham riots of 2011 but subsequently rebuilt over the following two years. Vehicles waiting at the traffic lights include a Lotus Elan Plus 2S, A Vauxhall Viva HA van, possibly, a Vauxhall Victor FD and a Hillman Avenger along with other vehicles and London buses in the distance along with pedestrians walking along the pavement.
