A FORMER editor of the British Journal of Photography who lived in Crouch End in the early nineteenth century is the latest noted resident to be celebrated.
George Shadbolt (1819-1901) will have a blue plaque erected in his honour at his old home Cecile House, in Crouch Hill later this month.
The photographer and journalist is believed to have taken many of the early pictures of Muswell Hill, Crouch End and Hornsey area.
The plaque will be unveiled by the president of the Royal Photographic Society, Rosemary Wilman, which Shadbolt helped found.
Cecile House is now home to Kestrel House School for young people with autism.
Historian Keith Fawkes, of the Hornsey Historical Society, will also say a few words at the ceremony.
It is the eighth plaque to be unveiled as part of a community scheme lead by Muswell Hill resident John Hajdu.
Next in line to be honoured is novelist Charlotte Riddell who lived in Green Lanes, Harringay.
The unveiling will take place at 3.30pm on Wednesday, February 24.
