Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

"In 1962 I was working for the London Evening Standard taking a portrait each week for the newspaper's Show Page and working with the reporter Gerard Garret. My diary for 22 August 1962 records our 10.15 morning appointment at Barbara Windsor's home at 42A, Grand Parade, Harringay. My expenses were one shilling for parking and six shillings and sixpence for entertaining. I usually took three rolls of film on my trusty Leica working with natural light whenever possible but taking some lights and reflectors for back up. "

Diary entry by Michael Ward, who was for over 30 years a top celebrity and news photographer with the British newspaper 'The Sunday Times'.
