    Interestingly, in 1909 there occured the "Tottenham outrage, 2 Serbians had attempted to assassinate the then French president,and failing,fled to Scotland where they remained hidden for 1 year. Their names were Lapidus and Helfeld. They returned to Tottenham and attempted to rob a paint factory in Tottenham of its wages money being taken to the bank as normal by a young boy and a protector .several persons were shot. In those days the public could constitutionally carry arms for self defence, but the police then only carried wooden truncheons.The public joined forces with the police and a long chase commenced with several police casualties. Eventually on capture Helfeld shot himself and Iapidus was shot and killed by a member of the public. The only permitted police weapon arrived by bicycle with a police Sargeant carrying a Cutlass sword.

Anteros was the god of "requited" love or "Love Returned." Eros, his brother is NOT atop the fountain. Eros was the god of "Carnal Love." Eros was also known as Cupid. Get your facts straight.
