18 October 2009. Blue-and-white mattress and bedbase dumped on the pavement in Allison Road, Harringay N8.
The signboard read: "Let and managed by Fenix Homes". In October 2009 their website read:
"As specialists we are fully focused on the priorities and needs of Landlords and Tenants".
Although - it might seem - with less concern for the priorities and needs of other residents to keep their street free of dumping.
____________________________________________
► Update 30 November 2010
The website for Fenix Homes was no longer available. Nor was the phone number on the advertising board (0208 3415455) and I couldn't find Fenix Homes in the phonebook. The same number was listed for Buy and Let Ltd at 103 Turnpike Lane, London N8. Fenix also seemed to have some link with a business called EasyFlat. This has a website which included (October 2011) an email address.
Companies House listed Fenix Homes Ltd (company number 04271466). But this appeared to be a different business as it is located in Berkhamsted Hertfordshire. It's a construction and civil engineering business and was shown (December 2010) as a dormant company.

Bed bugs actually do bite, cleaning mattresses is also one of our specialties, and we give them the deep clean treatment.
while waiting for the paint to dry (it is taking a very long time) i went back to working on my beds. namely the mattresses. first i cut out the filler. the rectangular bed got 1" thick memory foam. that was too thick for the other two and hid two much of the head board so instead they got three layers each of warm and natural quilt batting.

Snoopy has the time of his life after he found this place to lie down on the upwards standing mattress.
24 September 2009. High Road, Tottenham near the corner of Monument Way.
A pile of bedding often signals a homeless person sleeping in a less exposed corner of our supposedly great and prosperous city. But this looked more like dumping - mattress, pillows, duvet and a blanket. It was within sight of a second pile - dumped bags next to the railing.

Anyone, resident or someone working in or passing though Haringey can report problems online at any time - including dumping - through Haringey Council webpage.
A good alternative is to use the free website FixMyStreet which I strongly recommend.
When reporting street problems to Haringey I gave links to my photos posted on Flickr. But in September 2009 some senior Haringey staff - in full control freak mode - decided to block all staff from accessing Flickr and other social media websites.
Which was, in my personal view, stupid and dysfunctional since photographs and videos taken by residents with cameras and mobile phones are often a helpful source of information and a tool in providing effective public services.
I protested repeatedly against this absurd attempt to shut out the twenty-first century. So a small number of staff were deemed grown-up and sensible enough to view dirty pictures of rubbish dumping without an attack of the vapours and swooning with shock.

"The Jefferson Hotel is a luxury hotel in Richmond, Virginia, United States, opened in 1895. In 1969, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Jefferson is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. On site is "Lemaire", a restaurant named after Etienne Lemaire, who served as maitre d'hotel to Thomas Jefferson from 1794 through the end of his presidency.
Tobacco baron Lewis Ginter planned the development of the hotel as a premier property in the city of Richmond. It was designed in the Spanish Baroque Style by Carrère and Hastings, noted national architects based in New York City who later designed the New York Public Library. Construction began in 1892 and the hotel opened for business on October 31, 1895. After a fire gutted the interior of the hotel in 1901, it had a lengthy restoration. It reopened in 1907. It has received restorations and upgrades of systems through the years.
Patrons have included thirteen United States presidents, writers, and celebrities, including Henry James, Charles Lindbergh, The Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, and Anthony Hopkins.
In 1901, there was a wire fire that destroyed three-fifths of the hotel. There were no casualties; however, the statue of Thomas Jefferson was almost destroyed. The sculptor and crew pushed the statue on a mattress and pulled it to safety. During the rescue process, the head broke off. Eventually, the sculpture was repaired. In March 1944, another fire occurred. Six people were killed during the fire.
In the check-in lobby, known as the Palm Court, nine original stained glass Tiffany windows with the hotel's monogram remain. The three stained glass windows above the front desk and the stained glass dome are reproductions.
In his autobiography The Moon's a Balloon (1972), Academy Award-winning actor David Niven described a trip from New York to Florida in the late 1930s, during which he decided to spend the night at the Jefferson Hotel. Niven said that, as he was signing the guest registry in the lobby, his eyes snapped open with amazement when he noticed a full-sized alligator swimming in a small pool located six feet from the reception desk. The alligators at the Jefferson became world-famous. Old Pompey, the last alligator living in the marble pools of the Jefferson's Palm Court, survived until 1948. Bronze statues of the alligators now decorate the hotel. Its restaurant, Lemaire, has a theme of alligator motifs.
Monroe Ward is a historic neighborhood in Downtown Richmond. It is East of the Fan district and includes several apartment buildings, usually with VCU students living in them. Recently, VCU expanded its Monroe Park campus into the Monroe Ward with the Engineering East/Snead Hall building, as well as an under construction residence hall and parking deck. The historic Jefferson Hotel is located in the Monroe Ward. The culture-filled area is situated between the Fan area and Downtown.
Richmond (/ˈrɪtʃmənd/) is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. It is the center of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Greater Richmond Region. Richmond was incorporated in 1742 and has been an independent city since 1871. At the 2010 census, the city's population was 204,214; in 2020, the population had grown to 226,610, making Richmond the fourth-most populous city in Virginia. The Richmond Metropolitan Area has a population of 1,260,029, the third-most populous metro in the state.
Richmond is at the fall line of the James River, 44 mi (71 km) west of Williamsburg, 66 mi (106 km) east of Charlottesville, 91 mi (146 km) east of Lynchburg and 92 mi (148 km) south of Washington, D.C. Surrounded by Henrico and Chesterfield counties, the city is at the intersections of Interstate 95 and Interstate 64 and encircled by Interstate 295, Virginia State Route 150 and Virginia State Route 288. Major suburbs include Midlothian to the southwest, Chesterfield to the south, Varina to the southeast, Sandston to the east, Glen Allen to the north and west, Short Pump to the west and Mechanicsville to the northeast.
The site of Richmond had been an important village of the Powhatan Confederacy, and was briefly settled by English colonists from Jamestown from 1609 to 1611. The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780, replacing Williamsburg. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in the city, including Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death!" speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom written by Thomas Jefferson. During the American Civil War, Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy. It entered the 20th century with one of the world's first successful electric streetcar systems. The Jackson Ward neighborhood is a traditional hub of African-American commerce and culture.
Richmond's economy is primarily driven by law, finance, and government, with federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as notable legal and banking firms in the downtown area. The city is home to both a U.S. Court of Appeals, one of 13 such courts, and a Federal Reserve Bank, one of 12 such banks. There are several Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the city including: Dominion Energy, WestRock, Performance Food Group, CarMax, ARKO, and Altria with others, such as Markel, in the metropolitan area.
The city continues to struggle with exceptionally high rates of murder and violent crime, making it one of the most dangerous cities in the United States." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.
this was taken from the same staircase as the previous photo………..anybody want a mattress………free to good home……we'll even throw some mice in with it!
Village mattresses are different. It’s almost as if they were coated with an impermeable substance that prevents the filth and decay of Walthamstow from penetrating their fibres. They are also much more stylish than your average Stow mattress. None of those broad, garish, blue and white stripes thank you very much. Only a maroon/burgundy with an understated motif will do. It’s called class: and most E17 mattresses haven’t got it.

The old Rockford Clock Tower Resort has been demolished. It was cool walking around and seeing this abandoned resort. The water park might be saved but I doubt it.
With the tropical humidity and heat the local way to get some shut eye is to spread a bamboo mattress on top of the regular one. Knowing the normal Chinese mattresses a set of mahjong blocks can actually soften the mysterious product they call mattress as I could swear my marble windowsill is softer than the mattress we use to have. Happily the white one we have now is nice and soft, but really hot and I'll be testing tonight if the set of dominos under the sheets will keep me cooler.
