This Pub is Closed Long Term
26/02/23 - Very closed last night at nearly 9.00pm.
When the pub has reopened before this closure the interior has been ruined; all the old fittings had been stripped out. Haringey enforcement couldn’t force the developer to retain the original interwar panelling that was locally listed, and the interior was ripped out.
Had been a cosy, sports orientated late Victorian pub, with an Irish flavour, hand pumps removed.
Have a look at this article, so fingers crossed it is staying as a pub https://harringayonline.com/forum/topics/green-gate-pub
CAMRA has contacted Haringey - "visited The Green Gate pub yesterday. I can't find any planning applications on the planning portal, but a mansard roof extension that has been added and the chimney at the back of the pub has been removed. The chimney was visible in a photo from Google Street view from Sept 2020. Also, the pub sign has been removed from the front of the pub. It appears from the google street view that doors and windows have been replaced and it looks like an extension has been added at the back of the building. I could see exposed bricks through the window, so I fear the interior has been ripped out."
Reply from Harinhey Planning Dept, "The pub is not a statutory listed building and so there are no planning controls restricting internal alterations, unless they facilitate a change of use of the building. I spoke with the owner's architect who explained that the owner is carrying out internal works but confirmed the works are not facilitating a change of use and the pub is being retained and it still have a bar. It was also explained the external works are restoring the existing look and so there will not be a material difference to the external appearance. As a result of the above, we have had to close the case."
A former Mann Crossman Reid pub, still sporting its Watney Combe Reid circular sign. It was built in the inter-war period with three storeys of mainly brick and a single storey part on Willow Walk side. The brickwork is typical inter-war with decorative use of thin bricks. The pub retains much of its original interior albeit kept in a rough and ready state.
Four original doors show it would originally have been a four-room pub, now effectively a single main space with a games room to the rear. The main space has dado fielded panelling that looks 1930s and retains two fireplaces of 1930s brick, painted black. The bar has a good bar back with the lower shelving surviving (fridges placed elsewhere). There are two surviving gas lamps behind the bar, put in 25-30 years ago and, allegedly, in working order. There is a dumb waiter to a kitchen upstairs in the corner.
The small middle bar is opened-up to the right bar and has a panelled bar counter, a good 1930s mirrored bar back (but the mirrors look more post-war); fielded panelled dado, but the parquet floor was added in a refit 25-30 years ago. Look for the figure ‘3’ on the back of a disused door, a requirement of licensing magistrates.
The bar to the rear has a panelled bar counter, a good 1930s mirrored bar back and more dado fielded panelling. Windows in the bars still have opening fanlights operated by the original winding mechanism, for which a tool is needed. Original outside toilets still exist but are kept locked due to vandalism.
