Taken from a balloon at an impressive height of 2000ft in May 1882, this image showcases Stonebridge Road, Stamford Hill, and Seven Sisters Curve, all part of the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway in Haringey, Greater London. The black-and-white composition offers a unique perspective on Victorian-era architecture and transportation infrastructure. From above, we can observe the intricate network of railway tracks snaking through the bustling cityscape below. The buildings lining Stonebridge Road stand as stoic witnesses to the rapid urban development taking place during this time.
