"The sewage farm was on 30 a. in Wood Green and Edmonton, adjoining Cromwell Road in the Freehold, as only there could the parish process its own sewage. Able to serve 30,000 people, and discharging a purified effluent into the brook, it was regarded in 1891 as a great credit to the designer, Baldwin Latham. The surplus land was used for rubbish and allotments. The asylum's pipes were connected to it in 1898, and in 1932 it was altered to make room for the North Circular Road."
