The last storm occurred on the 27th August, 1891, when the water
from the sewer under the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway
rose 9 inches above the top of the rails at Crouch Hill Station.
With a view to-relieving the sewers in Hornsey Road south-east
of Seven Sisters Road and in Seven Sisters Road between Hornsey
Road and Fonthill Road, and to preventing'the flooding of the basements
of the premises in portions of Fonthill'and Seven Sisters Roads, a
scheme has been prepared by the Chief Surveyor for diverting the water
flowing along the Fonthill Road sewer into the sewer in Seven Sisters
Road and for conveying it into the Northern High Level sewer by
the construction of a 21 inch pipe sewer in Isledon Road from Coleridge
Road across Seven Sisters Road to Fonthill Road. This scheme also
contemplates the construction of a 3 feet 9 inch by 2 feet 6 inch brick
sewer in Tollington Park from Hornsey Road to a point 120 feet northeast
of Wray Crescent for conveying the sewage and storm water from
the district bounded by Tollington Park, Stroud Green Road, Hanley
Road, and Hornsey Road which at present flows through the sewers
along Alsen Road, Andover Road, and Durham Road into the sewer
in Seven Sisters Road, and thus relieving the sewer in the latter road.
This scheme, which is estimated to cost £1,200, has been adopted by
the Vestry and will shortly be carried out.
