<p>Hugh,</p>
<p>Many thanks for sending that link. What a very detailed and concise "walk through" old Wood Green High Street. I lived in 5, Coleraine Road from 1953 to 1963. I completed my schooling at North Harringay School and belonged to the 77th North London Scout Troop at Alison Road Church. They used to put on a Gang Show in December every year, which I remember as being great fun - I still have several photographs and a selection of the Scout/Guide Troops monthly news booklets.…</p>

Unfortunately the old scout hut at the side of the church has long gone!</p>
<p>The article brought back many good memories of my early life around Wood Green and Harringay, especially the toy shop on the High Street between Coleraine and Courcy Roads.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Hilary. The ones I had I gave to her kids a few years back. I never knew dad built 1 Willoughby, I always thought they bought it as was.</p>

<p>So good to be able to go back like this - by the way the picture of Hilary and co was not included? I'd love to see them. Sadly we have very few pictures from before 1964 as my mother three them all out when they downsized in Eastbourne in about 1972ish.</p>

<p>They adopted me when I was about 2 or 3 years old so i'm not sure what the car was for. Hilary was my cousin. She came to live with us when she was about 15 I think. She worked at the Wonderloaf off Perth Road in Wood Green. Eventually she got married to a guy called Sid Davis and they had 3 kids. and you are right she was well into her ice skating.

<p>The pictures are terrific. I am wondering if Jack bought the car for your mum to celebrate your birth? Is that possible. I know it was for a celebration - my mum Gina teased my dad, Tim about it - What about me? she would say.</p>
<p>They both used the Queens as well; indeed in 1964 I had what passed for a stag do there! I recall they were pretty friendly with your parents - we had dogs in the early 50s and bought horsemeat from Jack in Wood Green. I also recall that one of them had family…</p>

I recall they were pretty friendly with your parents - we had dogs in the early 50s and bought horsemeat from Jack in Wood Green. I also recall that one of them had family in the area and that I went ice skating with them at Harringay Arena - I must have been about 13 since I recall an early crush on a young lady called, if my memory is any good, Hilary? Great pic of you - by the way was it the Perry's who lived in number 2 next door to you? If so thir parents lived in 90, Frobisher - two doors down from us.</p> Early sixties,

Early sixties,<br />
Licensing hours on drinking and before amphetamines were everywhere.
