MenuTottenham, Middlesex
Tottenham is a town in Middlesex. Tottenham was a Saxon manor and subsequently a parish. The settlement grew up along the Roman road Ermine Street. Though the village centre was initially around The Green (aka Tottenham Green), the settlement spread along and about the road with the 12th century All Hallows Church and the 16th century Bruce Castle (the former manor house) lying to the north of this. From the Tudor period onwards, Tottenham became a popular recreation and leisure destination for wealthy Londoners. Tottenham remained a semi-rural and upper middle class area until the 1870s, after which the arrival of the railway saw it be developed as a working-class suburb of London. From 1900-1965, the ancient parish was the basis of Tottenham urban district, a municipal borough from 1934. Tottenham Town Hall (1905) was designed by Arnold Taylor and Rutherford Jemmett in the Baroque style. Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was founded in 1882. The town is within the council area of Haringey.
