Working in partnership with Haringey Council, the College has transformed its Tottenham Green site to create space for the newly opened, Hartsbrook primary school.

Built in 1716 in 13 acres of wooded grounds it was the most southerly of a number of substantial country houses along Tottenham Green.

Other well-known alumni included Dr Daniel Tuke (1827–95), an early mental health physician and Joseph Lister (1827–1912), a pioneer of antiseptic surgery.

In 1901 the Polytechnic shared accommodation with the newly opened Tottenham County School (see below), which used the Grove House premises during the day time.

Polytechnic day classes were confined to the school of art, with science, technical and commercial studies largely taking place in the evening.

In 1909 the Polytechnic offered courses in art, physiology and hygiene, science, technology, building construction, plumbing and carpentry, as well as land surveying, bus routine and gas manufacture.

Industry consisted mainly of many small engineering and manufacturing firms, together with the nascent gas and telephone companies.

The War disrupted work of the College, although courses continued to run, particularly as there was an urgent need for skilled labour in building and engineering.

Tottenham's two junior colleges, more vocationally oriented than other schools, started at age 13, and access to their courses was through competitive examination.

There were also classes in cabinet making, with the large furniture company Harris Lebus in Tottenham Hale being the biggest employer in the district.

In January 1991 Adult Education also joined the College making a large and very diverse institution on seven sites spread across the Borough of Haringey.

[19] The County School was first based in Grove House when it was the home of Tottenham Polytechnic (see above), and the history of the two institutions have been connected from the beginning.

The pupils came from a wide area, as well as Tottenham, including Edmonton, Waltham Cross, Hornsey, Wood Green, Finsbury Park, Stoke Newington, Shoreditch and Hackney.

It is part of a parade of Edwardian former Civic buildings on the east side of Tottenham Green which once included the Town Hall, swimming baths and fire station.

A number of the gentry living here played a significant part in national and international affairs, including education, the abolition of the slave trade, and social reform such as the opening of the first Penny Savings Bank by local Quaker, Priscilla Wakefield.

When the school did commence work, staff and students had to share their premises with the ARP (Air Raid Precautions) and the Food Office.

Extra space was found in nearby High Cross Memorial Hall and new buildings were planned at Selby Road, Devonshire Hill.

[25] The history of the Enfield Centre can be traced back to 1901, when Sir Joseph Swan opened the Ediswan Institute in Ponders End High Street for evening classes and social activities.

The Trade School offered a two-year course for boys, including basic subjects in year one such as maths, English, history and geography, with mechanical drawing and metalwork.

The College played an important role in fulfilling the national demand for trained technicians in the services and factories during World War Two.

[28] After the war, with another name change to Enfield College of Technology, there was continued expansion, with recognition in 1959 from London University for courses leading to external degrees in engineering.

In 1967, the college was reorganised into faculties for arts and technology acquiring more premises at Capel Manor and the rebuilt former Technical Institute in Ponders End.

Dr Ambrose Fleming, after whom the school was named, carried out research at the Ponders End Edison Swan factory which led to the diode lamp and the invention of the thermionic valve, a vital early component of radio and television.

[29] The main bias of the school was Applied Science and Technology, as well as general education, and it took boys from 11 to 18, leading to examinations in GCE O and A levels and Royal Society of Arts qualifications.
