One open space off the Fore Street, viz., "Moree's Pond," has been filled'
in. However useful and picturesque this may have been in years gone by,,
no one will now regret its disappearance.
Other spaces of service in their special way are the Sewage Farm of
235 acres, and the General Cemetery of 30 acres (which cost £20,500, and was
consecrated in 1884), and the Hebrews' Cemetery of 10 acres in Montague
Road.
Waste lands and possible building sites are not mentioned in detail,
but they contain area enough for 100,000 more inhabitants. Some of them,
are at present utilized as brickfields or market gardens, but others are ranged
over by the gipsy and vagrant.
RAILWAY FACILITIES.
The railway connection with London starts from the Liverpool Street
terminus of the Great Eastern Railway Company, and there are five stations
in the district, viz.:—Silver Street, Lower Edmonton and Bush Hill Park on
the branch to Enfield, and Lower Edmonton on a low level connecting link
between the main line and the Enfield line, which link branches off from theformer
at Angel Road station. A bridge conveying the road over the main
line at this station is in process of erection by the Great Eastern Railway
Company. This will be a great convenience to the ever - increasing traffic at
this point.
TRAMWAY FACILITIES.
There are direct electrical connections with Stamford Hill and
Finsbury Park, whence connection can be made with trains, trams or omnibuses
to all parts of London and suburbs. The Tube Railway, from Finsbury
Park to Hammersmith, provides a quick and easy transit from north to west
of London.
TRAMWAY EXTENSION.
The widening of Fore Street has proceeded at such a rate as the
necessarily lengthy negotiations for the acquirement of the land required
would permit, and before long we shall have in this main road a handsome
avenue for the increasing traffic of the district.
This work is not yet completed. Some widening operations at certain
points in the road remain to be carried out before the whole scheme can be
said to be complete. In the meantime the inhabitants are benefitting:
