Описание: The stupidity of Haringey's former "leaders" selling this public square never ceases to amaze me. I'd forgotten the history of the clocktower at the northern end of the Broadway. Erected in "appreciation and recognition of the public services’ of Henry Reader Williams (1822-97). He was known as an advocate for street trees and open spaces, and good local amenities. Williams was "Chairman of the local authority of Hornsey from 1880-1894, and played a key part in shaping the district, in particular campaigning against developers for the preservation of Highgate Wood and Queen’s Wood. He also paved the way for the purchase of Alexandra Palace and Park by a consortium of local authorities in 1901, after his death. His aim was to make Hornsey a model suburb."
