who are the seven sisters -in Victoria line ?

Answer 1

The Seven Sisters, situated on Page Green, Tottenham, were originally Elms planted in a circle, and in 1840 were said to be about 500 years old. The trees were replanted in 1886, a little further to the east by the (7) Hibbert sisters. Seven Lombardy Poplars were again replanted on 31st December 1955 by the (7) Basten sisters of North London. It is possible that the site was an early sacred grove and that the name Page Green is derived from Pagans Green. The location of the trees may denote a place where people were burnt at the stake.

The Seven Sisters Road, which starts nearby, was constructed in 1833 to provide a link across the countryside from Tottenham to Holloway.

Answer 2

According to Cyril Harris whose book "What's In A Name?" features the origins of the names of all stations in use on the London Underground, Seven Sisters station is named after Seven Sisters Road.

Built in 1831-33 the road was named after seven elm trees which stood near Page Green.

The trees were marked as 7 Sesters in 1754, and then the station opened as Seven Sisters on 1 September 1968.

Answer 3

The 'Seven Sisters' are a line of chalk cliffs stretching between Seaford in the West and Beachy Head in the East in East Sussex.

Answer 4

There are the 'Seven Sisters' cliffs in England but because Seven Sisters Road, North London is nowhere near, and it was a custom to plant Elm trees in sets of seven, it is most likely that it was from such a set of trees that the name arrived...............
