Thanks for adding the photo Caroline. It piansyt a cost picture of post-war Harringay.

I see in the background, the low boundary wall to number 631. A little further up, was number 641, on the corner of Fairfax Road. Between them, there was still apparently a large empty plot which didn't get built in until the Sixties. Do you remember if it was in use in any way?

Yes it was in use Hugh. I have a photo of my Uncle in the front garden of the same house. It just about shows the name of the people who were occupying the space.
I was born in 1951 and lived in the house until 1965. It was sold and became, along with the house next door the Cypriot Community Centre.

I will find the photograph and post it.

I have posted the photograph of my Uncle in the front garden of 630 Green Lanes. I think the space opposite was occupied by Siemens Glass, Which still seems to be in production
