In 1888, Tottenham and Edmonton were suburban areas located in the northern part of London. The population was predominantly working-class, with many people employed in the nearby factories and industries. Tottenham was known for its market gardens and nurseries, which provided fresh produce for the city. There were also several breweries in the area, such as the Tottenham Brewery, which was established in the mid-19th century.

Edmonton was home to several notable landmarks, including All Saints' Church, which dates back to the 12th century, and the nearby Pymmes Park. The park was created in the late 19th century and was originally part of a larger estate owned by the Pymmes family. It features a lake, formal gardens, and a bandstand, and was a popular destination for local residents. Other landmarks in the area included the Angel Inn, a coaching inn that had been in operation since the 16th century, and the nearby Enfield Old Park.

Overall, Tottenham and Edmonton were bustling working-class communities that played an important role in the industrial development of London. While they lacked some of the amenities of the more affluent areas of the city, they were home to a rich cultural history and a strong sense of community.
