20150909 - listed buildings, volunteer progress and a rare birds quiz

Try our quiz on rare bird species found locally (that's a clue to one of the answers)

News of listed buildings this week.
The fountain in Priory Park is listed but has been used as nothing but a glorified flower pot for many years. A team of volunteers are bringing it back into community use. News of progress and some pictures.
Hornsey Town Hall is once again a wedding venue tnaks in this case thanks are due not to volunteers but to civic minded entrepreneurs with a viable business plan. Read about what a local group is doing to influence the outcome of Haringey's disposal plans. Local business MEB Motors is blogging about it. Much, much more about Hornsey Town Hall, a continuing saga.

Listed or not, do you know who owns the buildings in Crouch End?  And have you noticed a vertical trend, upwards?

Venturing outside Crouch End, Bruce Castle Park is worth a visit, a ludicrous building scheme is proposed for Parkland Walk, and a very big building in Archway belongs to difficult owners.

Fri Sep 11th - Cuban Fury , a Talkies pop-up screening in Bounds Green
                      A Book Launch with music in the Big Green Bookshop
