"New River Pumping Station 1903". The Hornsey Treatment Works are associated with the New River, the water supply system begun in the 17th century that brings water from Hertfordshire to London. The brick buildings associated with the works were the last constructed by the New River Company before the Metropolitan Water Board took over in 1904. The New River brought untreated water to the capital, although following the promulgation of the 1852 Metropolis Water Act, some treatment, such as filtration, became mandatory. The New River system still delivers Hertfordshire water to London to this day. 12/11/2015

"Electric Coliseum". The Electric Coliseum Cinema was built in 1912 on the corner of Green Lanes and St Ann's Road. It opened early in 1913. In addition to seating for 650 in stalls and a small circle, there was a small stage for variety acts. The auditorium was richly decorated with gilded bas-relief plaster moulding. It was equipped with an organ, the first to be installed in any cinema in the UK. The Salon du Bal dance hall was attached to the cinema, with its own separate entrance in Salisbury Parade. Operated as an independent cinema through its entire life, its name changed to the Coliseum Cinema around 1930 when talking films were introduced. In the late 1950s it was bought along with the Regal (Premier Electric) by the Newcastle-based Essoldo company. In 1961 Essoldo implemented plans to turn the Coliseum into a bingo hall. It closed on 3 June 1961 with a final show including Tony Curtis in Who Was That Lady and Randolph Scott in Buchanan Rides Alone. 12/11/2015

"The Ritz Cinema". Green Lanes. The Ritz Cinema on the corner of Green Lanes and Carlingford Road was one of several cinemas (usually named Ritz) that were designed by Major W.J. King of Jermyn Street, London. It was built for and operated by Associated British Cinemas (ABC). It opened on 30 December 1935 with Clark Gable in China Seas and Ricardo Cortez in Sing Me a Love Song. The cinema's red brick exterior was designed to harmonise with the adjoining Turnpike Lane tube station. Above the main canopy over the entrance was an illuminated sign above which the name of the cinema was displayed in neon. The auditorium's decorative scheme was quite simple and consisted mainly of ornamental plasterwork decorated in green, gold and pink. There was a large cove-lit dome in the ceiling and seating was provided for 1,850 people. The cinema was also equipped with a stage, which was only occasionally used, and a cafe that was located over the entrance foyer in operation until the 1950s.[8] The Ritz was an immediate success and quickly became established as one of north London's most popular cinemas. All the latest advances in cinema technology were installed in the Ritz and in 1954 the cinema presented several films in 3D. It was re-named ABC Turnpike Lane from 9 October 1961. The cinema was closed for conversion into a multi-screen cinema on 11 June 1977. It reopened on 29 September 1977 with 625 seats in the former circle and two screens in the former stalls seating 417 and 316. In 1986, a year after its half-centenary celebrations, it was renamed Cannon when the Cannon Group took control of ABC/ EMI. From 17 July 1988 it was taken over by the independent Coronet Cinemas chain and was re-named Coronet Cinema. The Coronet cinema was closed on 25 March 1999 with Patch Adams, This Year's Love and Urban Legend the last films screened, and was demolished in August 1999. 12/11/2015

"The Premier Electric Cinema". Frobisher Road. The Premier Electric, designed by the architectural firm Emden & Egan, was opened on 16 April 1910. It was built for London Picture Theatre Ltd as one of a small chain of Premier Electrics. By the time it closed in January 2003 it was the UK’s oldest operating cinema. The building still stands today on Frobisher Road by Duckett's Common. The frontage and entrance area had been designed to echo colonial India. Palm trees were scattered around the foyer to foster the colonial feel. Reporting its opening the local newspaper, the Hornsey Journal, described it in glowing terms and drew attention to its Premier Electric Cinema, "particularly handsome entrance the Most Unique Picture Theatre in London Handsomely decorated and upholstered throughout no expense has been spared to ensure the comfort of patrons. The very latest productions in the world of animated pictures to be seen here". 12/11/2015
