[edit] Moved from Hungry Hill

The following text has nothing to do with a mountain in Ireland, so I'm moving it here in case anyone wants to incorporate it into the article. A link to here should probably be added to Hungry Hill (disambiguation) too. --Blisco 22:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

The Hungry Hill, Also a notorious area of North London, near Archway, comprising of Hazelville Road, Sunnyside Road, Hornsey Lane and the surrounding vicinity. The area became infamous during the 1940's for criminality and violence, culminating in the torso murder case of 1976. Largely redeveloped and lawful now.

[edit] Shop photo

The shops in Archway Road, in the photo, are not in the Archway area of Islington - they're in Haringey. Either redefine the scope of the article or remove them or clarify the photo. BTW, is there a picture of the view towards the City? Folks at 137 20:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

The name came from the failed tunnel project - 'archway' is an old alternate term for 'tunnel' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mauls (talkcontribs) 01:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
