<p>Hi Brian, yes I can vaguely remember you and your when you both lived at 5a Grand Parade. November the 5th 1953 I went in the Army for my National Service, I’m sorry I never really got to know you both but may be you will remember me moved back to 5c in March 1960, with three children ( 2 were mine and the other was another man’s child, though I treated him as my own ) This was why a had to move back to 5c because my so called wife has taken off with an other man and left me with 3 kids to…</p>

At the time I thought my World had Crashed but after a few Months I realised she had done me a Great Favour.

Or maybe you can remember suddenly there was no more children or Adults upstairs ( Nov 1964 bound for Australia ) something my first wife was against. So you can now see how lucky I was.</p> Brian..........I have only ju…tag:harringayonline.com,2022-07-29:844301:Comment:15004912022-07-29T12:26:22.168ZJohn Shulverhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/John_Shulver
<p>Brian..........I have only just found your comment of Nov 7, 21. I can't recall name of head master, I started the year after you left 56-60. but a Mr Rowe rings a bell and most definitely Mr Lunney. Very smart upright man as I recall with a good walking pace on him, wonderful deep singing voice which was always above any other in assemblies, he also played piano, thumping out morning hymn etc. I can't remember what subjects he taught though.

<p>Hello:</p>
<p></p>
<p>I went to Woodlands Park School 1951-1955. The headmaster was Mr. Podd - is that correct? - and the teachers were Mr.Rowe who was the football teacher, Mr. Beresford who went to teach at a school Southgate way, Mr. Lunney who I saw for many years after I left Woodlands, and My favourite, Mr. Hobson, who I've been told or heard somewhere committed suicide over a woman.

<p>Hi Eddie, yes if only we could bring back the England we used to know, we are in such a mess now!!. Is Brian`s brother called Christopher, who had webbed toes? I used to be friends with that family. I lived on the corner above the shops, it`s called Grand Parade. Did you go to Woodlands Park school? All the best, Maureen</p>

<p>I have a friend who use to live in Rosebery Gardens, named Brian Wilkinson. He had a younger sister and brother, we still keep in touch after about 78 years. I live in Australia ( moved here in 1964 ) have been back to UK 5 times since and I’m sorry to say “ the old England I left then is a hell of a lot worse off now “ Eddie</p>
