Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Does anyone know whether there were any cafe or restaurants in wood green high road during the war years?   Or in Myddleton Road.  

Thank you

Julia

Yes, lots of good Italian ice cream in Wales (as in Scotland), presumably from late 19th century immigration. I have more recent and excellent experience of Verdi’s, in The Mumbles outside Swansea — also a haunt of Catherine Zeta Jones, I gather, though not in my presence, alas. But Lyons certainly hit the spot, too, and I remember the little carboard wrappers very well.

Brought back a memory of BHS cafeteria there, on the 1st floor, M&S, Co-op [give it to the blind] as many a Saturday going to 'the big shops' in Wood Green with mother in the sixties, I suppose. We always had a cup of tea ,whatever in BHS I think, but maybe it was Bartons. Just a fleeting memory reading this. Yes & the round icecream in cardboard edge. Paying the electric I think by the 233 bus stop, by the carnegie library.

I also have a fleeting memory of seeing a trolleybus around Manor House gates. It had a white circle on the back - left over from the war Mum said. But I think we got a deisel bus and the conductor gave me a spare ticket roll for his machine. So long ago, so many changes.
