| The image of the Marshes has fluctuated over the ages, from a
marginalised, even dangerous, are of floods and malaria, to clean open spaces used for
agriculture and leisure. But they have in their own unique way reflected the changes and
events of Tottenham as it passed from a Saxon settlement, to a feudal manor, and then a
village parish and finally an urban town, following changes in agriculture, transport,
population, industry and leisure. This brief history of an often forgotten part of Tottenham follows this progress through the ages. ALL PROFITS WILL GO TO 'THE FRIENDS OF BRUCE CASTLE MUSEUM' TO HELP WITH THEIR CONTINUING SUPPORT FOR THE MUSEUM AND PARK. |
