Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The Hook Greyhound Kennels, Northaw

I have looked with great interest at the old photos of Harringay Racetrack.

Has anyone got any photos they can post of The Hook Kennels, Northaw, which was the kennels which serviced Harringay Racetrack?  My mum used to work there as a kennel maid May, 1949 to Christmas 1950 and still thinks foundly of it.  Now in her 80's, I would love to see some photos of how the kennels used to be and also how they looked before they closed.  Many thanks.

Christine

I used to ride in these when I was a very young girl, it was a long walk from Potters Bar to the Kennels and the drivers would stop and pick staff up and the wifes with the children to save the walk.
