These are just two of the many [[Spring (hydrosphere)|spring]]s and [[stream]]s that used to flow through this part of London from the high ground to the west, down into the River Lea. Stonebridge Brook ran above ground meandering eastwards just to the north of the old Harringay House.

Note paving to the east (ex-[[Municipal Borough of Tottenham|Tottenham]]), tarmac to the west (ex-[[Municipal Borough of Hornsey|Hornsey]])]] The area was then largely covered with forest until the [[Middle Ages]] when it was developed as agricultural land. From 1750 to 1880 Harringay experienced the pressures of the burgeoning population in London. Gradually inroads into the pastoral landscape were made, first for the leisure and then for the settlement of Londoners. By 1900 Harringay had become a respectable outer London suburb with all the land built over and only [[Finsbury Park]] remaining as a hint of its former character. It remained part of [[Middlesex]] and was not within the jurisdiction of the [[County of London]] until 1965. Identified as a single unified urban area from 1900, Harringay was originally split between the old boroughs of [[Municipal Borough of Hornsey|Hornsey]] and [[Municipal Borough of Tottenham|Tottenham]] with the boundary between the two running slightly to the west of [[Green Lanes (London)|Green Lanes]] The unification of the two boroughs in 1965, as the [[London Borough of Haringey]], brought all Harringay under the control of a single unit of local governance for the first time in more than a thousand years. On many of the roads in West Harringay, it is still possible to see the old Tottenham - Hornsey boundary where the paving stones give way to tarmacked pavement. The old [[parish]] / [[borough]] [[boundary marker]]s are also still in place on some roads (see picture, right). ===Etymology=== {{further|History of Harringay#Etymology}} The name ''Harringay'' has its origin in the [[Anglo-Saxons|Saxon]] period and is derived from the name of a Saxon chieftain called Haering. ''Haering's Hege'' meant Haering's enclosure. The earliest written form of the name was recorded as ''Harenhg’'' in about 1195. Its development thereafter gave rise to the modern-day names of Harringay (the district of London), the [[London Borough of Haringey]] and [[Hornsey]] (another nearby district of London). :''Sources:''<ref>{{cite book|last = Madge|first=Stephen J.|title=An Introduction to the Early Records of Harringay alias Hornsey|publisher=Public Libraries Committee Hornsey|year=1936}}The information used for this section is derived from this very detailed study carried out by the author over 36 years. In addition to being a historian of local history, Madge was Editor of the British Records Society. Earlier theories proposed the notion of a meaning of "meadow of hares". Madge patiently dedicated a section in his book explaining his scholarly research identifying the true origin and gently sidelining the hares theory.</ref> ===Entertainment=== {{further|History of Harringay#Harringay and entertainment}} From 1750 until the second half of the 20th century, Harringay became a destination for Londoners seeking to relax. Hornsey Wood House, [[Finsbury Park]], [[Harringay Stadium]] and [[Harringay Arena]] were all hugely popular leisure destinations in their day. The stadium and arena site is now occupied by [[Sainsbury's]] and the Arena Shopping Park. In the 21st century, Harringay continues to attract visitors from across London and beyond to visit the ever-growing number of popular restaurants, bars, festivals and live music venues. In the years since 2010 the festivals, bar and music studios of the creative hub in the Harringay Warehouse District is also attracting people to Harringay as an entertainment centre. ===Transport and communications history=== {{further|History of Harringay#Transport & communications history}} There is little doubt that the history of transport communications through Harringay had a significant effect on its shape today. In [[Roman Britain|Roman times]], a great roadway through the area to the north was established.<ref>See [[History of Harringay - Prehistory to 1750#Prehistory to Domesday|Early History page]].</ref> This roadway endured as a great communication passage to the north and brought much activity through the heart of the area. It also acted as the rough dividing line for land ownership, identifying Harringay's position on the edge of [[manorial]] and subsequently [[borough]] boundaries. In the mid-19th century, the arrival of the [[Great Northern Railway (Great Britain)|Great Northern Railway]] (GNR) cleaved western Harringay from the rest of the [[Municipal Borough of Hornsey|Borough of Hornsey]] and set it fair for its subsequent union with the southwesternmost slice of the [[Municipal Borough of Tottenham|Borough of Tottenham]]. The subsequent construction of the [[Tottenham & Hampstead Junction Railway]] (THJR) almost defined Harringay's present-day southern boundary. ==Demographics== [[File:St Paul's Church N8.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The striking [[Modernist]] [[St Paul's, Harringay|St Paul's Church]] & Vicarage, Wightman Road, Harringay - called ''the dazzling St Paul's'' by ''[[The Guardian]]'''s [[Simon Jenkins]]]] At the [[United Kingdom Census 2011|2011 census]], the population of Harringay was about 22,136.<ref name=datasource>There is no single figure provided in the [[census]] for Harringay.
