Books and Historical References to Winchmore Hill, Grange Park and Highlands N21

There have been a number of books written about the history of N21, the most famous being the book by Henrietta Cresswell , who lived in Winchmore Hill in the late 1800's.

I have recently read some of the books shown below, as they were kindly loaned to me by a local historian, and quite honestly they have changed the way I look at N21 as every Avenue and Road has a story to tell.

The huge industrial change that has transformed the area really has happened in the last 120 years. Before that, N21 was countryside, with hills, brooks, valleys, streams and woodlands.

The book " Memories of a lost village" by H Cresswell is particularly poignant, as the life in Winchmore Hill was truly unspoilt as she grew up as the doctor's daughter in the area in the late 1800's. She later began to see all the countryside being built upon - which must have been heart breaking. It's little wonder she ended her days in Dumfries, which remained relatively unspoilt and probably reminded her of her days in Winchmore Hill.

Here are some of the books and articles written about the local area..
