This building on the corner of Tollington Park and Hornsey
was knocked down, renamed 'Yale Terrace' and now looks like this:
There are eight houses and four flats most of which seem to have sold off-plan. They're shiny. The developers are aiming upmarket, selling gentrification before it's quite happened.

There are eight houses and four flats most of which seem to have sold off-plan. They're shiny. The developers are aiming upmarket, selling gentrification before it's quite happened.
Their planning application was a thorough business, with many drawings from Bells Cooley architects. Doesn't explain where they got the name 'Yale Terrace' from, mind.
The commercial space still says 'to let', but the shop-keepers round there believe that it'll be a Tesco. I can't work out if they're right.
The developers have put a new planning application in, asking to 'Infill single storey extension at rear ground floor and change of use from residential amenity space to flexible: A1/A2/B1, providing for a total of 260sqm floor space together with alterations to building.'
A1 mean shops, A2 means financial and professional services, B1 means businesses.* So that's not very clear. The size would be right for a big Tesco Express, or a small Tesco Metro.
It should be finished by the summer.
The cafe' you can just see in the Fayers picture is now Ajani's. It used to look like this:
