We now turn into Green Lanes which leads down past Finsbury Park to the busy shopping centre of Harringay. On the east side we pass the huge Harringay Arena, famous for dog-racing and championship boxing contests, and shortly reach Wood Green. Duckett’s Common on the west side of Green Lanes is an open space of six acres which is so named from a farmer of that name who lived in this vicinity. The High Road is a smart shopping street with two large departmental stores, namely Messrs A. Barton & Company Limited and the London Co-operative Society, and also the Wood Green Empire Theatre of Varieties on the east side. At the corner of Bounds Road is the handsome church of St Michael and All Angels forming a bold landmark and crowned with a lofty spire.
