Bruce Castle Museum Archive

 Today I visited the Bruce Castle Museum local history Archive in Tottenham to see what information they may hold on The Parkland Walk and the Great Northern Railway line- The Northern Heights.
The Archive held a number of large A1 birds-eye view maps of the railway line from 1880-1900's focusing on sections of the line. It also held a large number of photographs and postcards of the time- most dated. a few books were shown with sections about the railway line or the history of the nature reserve, but most I had already looked at in the library.
I was expecting the archive to be a little more exiting like others I have been to but it did help a lot for me to be able to physically see what it looked like before it closed but I was hoping they would have more solid information that I could look at, watch or read.
