Baptist Lake

Excerpt from Baptist Lake
Pilgrimstow Market, the name given by the dwellers in Pilgrimstow to a broad street, bent like a rib of beef, in which they do their shopping, springs unexpectedly out of the old crooked spine of the Enfield road into full modernity, and, after a busy curve of about a furlong, ends in a waste common as suddenly as it began.
All the country there to the north of London, between Highgate Wood and Tottenham Cross, and from Stoke New-ington on to Bowes' Park and Palmer's Green, is pinched and pulled into knots and stitches of brand-new red brick and yellow.
