Green Lanes, Manor House 1952

"There's the old joke about the apprentice being late for work. His excuse was the his bike wheels became stuck in the tram lines and he had to go all the way to the terminus to turn around."

Some wonderful photos there with some provoking memories of childhood.  My Mum also worked at Maynards in the late 50s/60s and I remember her coming home with stuff like "Jamboree Bags", Liquerice novelties, etc,etc.   Equivalent of winning the lottery now I spose !         Thanks for sharing them.

Hi Roy,

Thanks for your comments about the New River. They're absolutely fascinating. I wonder whether you'd be able to meet up for a cup of tea in a local cafe and do a short audio interview for our river project. I do hope that might work for you. My e-mail address is sarah@sarahpeters.net

With grateful thanks and best wishes,

Sarah

Hi Roy,


Thank you so much for your swift reply - what lovely, evocative stories of your childhood. I'd love to hear more about them. I should explain more about the project  I'm doing with a local artist: next year is the New River's 400th anniversary and to mark this, we're planning an audio-visual hommage to the river in the form of an audio documentary and slideshow. We are keen to capture the amazing stories and images of the river as it bends and curves through London. I wonder - do you have any photos of yourself near the New River when you were young? And is there a way my colleague and I get in touch?

Huge thanks

Sarah
