Description: | The forge of 'H.B. Chesser - Farrier' with customers waiting to
be attended with their horse. Situated at the junction of the
High Road and Lordship Lane in Wood Green, this family firm took
advantage of the passing trade on a busy route into London.
Established in 1770 by George Chesser, this blacksmith's
remained operational well into the 1920s, when horse-drawn
vehicles were still being used locally. In the 20th century, the
site it occupied was a well known landmark, known as 'Spouter's
Corner'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bruce Castle Museum, Haringey | Rights holder: | Haringey Culture, Libraries & Learning | Subjects: | work Cityscape | Temporal: | 1921 | Source: | Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey) | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
