Until the early 20th century Coldfall Wood covered more than twice its current extent, reaching south to the properties bordering Fortis Green.[2] The southern section was felled and partially excavated for gravel, before being used for residential development and the sites of Tollington and William Grimshaw schools (later Fortismere School). Tollington first rented and felled part of the wood for a sports field in the 1920s[3] and subsequently moved to a new building on the site. William Grimshaw was built later to the north.
It was the site of the largest pig market in Middlesex, founded in the late 17th Century. Pigs would be fattened on grain left over from London's gin distilleries before being sold on to London butchers. In the 19th Century the market declined in importance and was only held once a week, and towards the end of the century was reduced to occasional auctions[1].
