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.

The Victorians planted seven elm trees in this area. The trees became known as the Seven Sisters which then lent the name to the road and later to the underground station.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble.

Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

I can think of 2. There were 7 women's universities, which were the equivalent to the Ivy League, known as the 7 Sisters. There is also a small constellation known as the 7 Sisters. It is V-shaped, and only 5 of the stars are actually visible with the naked eye.

Television is produced to the lowest common denominator - i.e., the common IQ of the general public, whereas a written publication is written to the highest common denominator
