7 Bruce Grove:
Luke Howard's home

Picture
Luke Howard’s home
Luke Howard moved to 7 Bruce Grove in 1852 to live with his son, Robert, when his wife, Mariabella, died.

No 7 Bruce Grove features the only English Heritage Blue Plaque in Tottenham, but sadly the house is in a serious state of disrepair.  Planning permission has been sought by Redwing Estates and in the meantime the fabric of the house is deteriorating.

Please sign the petition: Save-7-bruce-grove-tottenham
and send the link on to your friends.  Tottenham Civic Society gathered signatures at the Tottenham Cloudfest in 2014 calling for the building issues to be addressed and amongst those signing the petition was Oliver Howard, the great, great grandson of Luke Howard.

The building was also important to the labour movement in Tottenham. The Trade Union and Labour organisations Tottenham  bought both Nos. 7 and 8 in 1919.   And this plaque commemorates the opening of the new extension at the front of the building in 1937 by the two Labour MPs for the area RC Morrison and Fred Messser, MPs for North and South Tottenham.
