A campaign to save Luke Howard’s house was launched by the Tottenham Civic Society in December.

In a paper written in 1802 Luke Howard, aka ‘the namer of clouds’, proposed many of the cloud classifications still in use today. The Bruce Grove house in which he lived is the only building in Tottenham to bear an English Heritage blue plaque. However, it is currently on the ‘buildings at risk’ register due its derelict condition.
