"The Railway Tavern next to Harringay West Station was my local in the 1960s. My mates and I used to play darts in there on a Saturday for sixpence a game. I even had part of my stag night there. It was really convenient as I only li ved round the…"
"Many thanks Hugh for clearing up the Roy Rogers question. Happy New Year to you my friend."
"Thank you so much Patrick for confirming that. I must have been quite young because I don't remember a lot about it. I was fascinated with the Wild West and cowboys in those days. I don't suppose you remember what year it was do you.?"
"I certainly remember going to the stock car racing there when I lived in Harringay. I also have a vague memory of my mother taking me there to see the famous cowboy Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger who were a big thing at the time. I think it must…"

Hi David,
I am a Student at UCL and am investigating the history of Campbell Bunk, I saw that on a previous thread you said that your parents grew up nearby. It would be fantastic if I could get in contact with you to talk you about their experiences / anything they might have told you about the Bunk.
Any help would be fantastic,
Charlie

Hi David, I started at Stationers in 1954 so our experiences do overlap somewhat although I left in 1960. The bust tickets were a scam for me. I always took them and swapped them for fags! I rode by bike most of the time! I do not recall the sweet shop so that may be a later tradition. I do remember the changing rooms in the rather fine pavilion. The wooden floors were lethal! And we threw dooberries at the ceiling - were they still there?
Regards
