Curious Crouch End

Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £4.25
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Seeded sourdough and oatmilk flat white – that's how Crouch End is often seen. But there's so much more to the history of this proudly independent locality, from radical politics to sport, music to exceptional public art. In 'Curious Crouch End', historian Andrew Whitehead tells the stories hidden away amid the Victorian villas and Edwardian terraces of this fashionable corner of North from a pioneering women's football match organised by the possibly mythical Nettie Honeyball, to the high point of the 1968 student rebellion. It's where Bob Dylan got lost on his way to a local recording studio and where Ray Davies found his 'working man's cafe'. Look out for the spectacular Art Deco in the square and the sparkling Art Nouveau in the pub.
