Grand Stroud Green Photo Quiz

Arkady

Have pictures stopped working?  I haven't had problems with this previously.<br>

Flickr links are links to the web page, not the image. If want to link an image, you'll need a web address ending in .jpg or .png or similar.

For example:<div><br></div><div><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6055/6378446077_fc4ce44125.jpg"></div>

Pissing hell I spent ages uploading that to Photobucket before I read that.  OK, thanks.  So, anyone know?  It's  a toughy.  Miss Annie might.<br>

poxy

Gizza clue.

miss annie

I think I might know. Need to nip along and have a look to check.

ShaunG

St Mellitus?

Arkady

Nope.  But was similarly built to serve Jesus.<br>

poxy

The old Sally Army citadel in CE?

poxy

Or the church next to Stationers Park?

The Baptist Church at the top of Victoria Road?

Arkady

Nope nope nope.<br><br>Here's the whole building:<br><br><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6220/6378451697_b49f607e64_b.jpg"><br><br>It's not as far away as Stationers Park or Crouch End.  I wouldn't have posted it if it didn't fall into Stroud Green, though admittedly via a somewhat expansionist definition.<br><br><br>

Ali

Lots of berries on the Holly Tree

Arkady

Good hint.<br>

Four Eyes

On Holly Park, turning just off Crouch Hill. Just behind Lyngham Court.<br>

<img src="http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4969/hollypark.jpg"> I did google street view it. Is that cheating?

Arkady

Bravo. The only Victorian building left on the estate. Built as a church, I think it is now incorporated into the Montessori school.<br><br>Does anyone know the history of Holly Park?<br>

miss annie

I knew that I recognised it, it's right by my Brownie hall isn't! Drat.

krappyrubsnif

Ace!

poxy

It still belongs to the church.  The Montessori school rents the hall and the flat-roofed infill building from the church.

Grand Photo Quiz will soon be back!<br><br>Can anyone help though?    I would like to upload a new image, but since the site changed I can't seem to do this.  I'm using a Picasa web album, when I try to put a saved image here, all I get is:<br><br><img src="%3Ctable%20style=%22width:auto;%22%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%3E%3Ca%20href=%22https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/UU8Td1vW-8kFKrT6Tu4OfNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YS47se9V3YA/T3a0Z8ZFp0I/AAAAAAAAAVs/-md5exAAi7Y/s144/Park%20Tavern%20Sign%20001-001.jpg" height="144" width="112" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/mikefromlondon/StroudGreen?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite">Stroud Green</a></td></tr></table>"><img src="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/UU8Td1vW-8kFKrT6Tu4OfNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink"><img src="https://picasaweb.google.com/mikefromlondon/StroudGreen#5725962334049249090">

There used to be a sticky with instructions on links and images. Once we've worked out how to do it with the new system (I don't know I'm afraid) can we have the sticky back please?

gardener-joe

If u r using a PC there is a button on the r/h side of the ribbon above the comments box that lets you add an image via a URL.

Detritus

Err don't look as me like a Luddite but what is a url?

gardener-joe

An example of a uniform resource locator, or url, is: http://www.stroudgreen.org. On a pc, just right-clicking on an inage is usually the way to get its unique url.

Detritus

<p>So if I click the url button the magic pixies will put the photo from my pc to here?</p><p>The magic pixies are spiffing.</p>

gardener-joe

yes ... and you can always use the edit feature to go back and remove the errors!

Detritus
