Hi John, I'm afriad I don't have a relative by that name. My family have only been in the area since the late 70s and we don't have any relatives in the area.
Hi John ,I went to the tech school at Ponders End.
It was some journey from Alexandra Park, first a bus to Wood Green high street for a trolley bus to Enfield then a 107 bus taken near to Enfield Cables and another step to the College. i gained some awards there for my boat and aeroplane models.
Mr Bygraves was our tutor, Mr Edwards ( woodwork ) nearly killed me with a cricket ball ( he missed).
I'm just getting the hang of this, so bear with me. My address probably looks weird but that's because I now live on Vancouver Island, hence the postal code and weird house number. (Who has an address in the two thousands?!) I had a lot of friends on the street because many, many of us were born in 1946. I consider myself very lucky now, looking back and have managed to keep in touch with some of them thanks to the internet.
Thanks for the info John. Were the brother and sister home schooled? I remember a family on that side of the road (I lived above the alleyways at number 49) and my mother couldn't get over the fact that they didn't go to North Harringay school. Personally I hated school and envied them greatly.
Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I didn't know either of those people but the boys I did know from North Harringay were Errol Seryck and Robin Paris. Any good?
Reply to John Shulver, re your question by Colin Servants "were my parents from Hull"...well, blow me down! My grandmother was from Hull one of eight children her maiden name was Rose Florence Miller and in 1900 she married James Todd at St Andrews Church in Drypool, Hull, and at some point years later moved to London, I do not know where however you may hold the key, would love to know more on Colin Servantes find. Thankyou.
Hi John, Many thanks. Your description of the 'great gates' is the first memory we will hear in the live show audio. Of course, I can get someone to record your online entry but I wonder if you might consider us meeting and I can record the memory directly with a zoom recorder? I will be in London at some point this month... You can find out more about me/the project via the project website www.viviennesometimes
