"Thank's very much for posting Hugh.
I lived in Harringay up to the late 1950's. Sad to say the interiour of Ally Pally was in a terrible state at that time, so looking at your post picture was nice to see how it was.
I…"
"Used to go there in the mid to late 50s. I remember the owner used to like a staring competition."
"I spent many an hour in there in the mid-late sixties wearing out the Ska records on the jukebox. We were friendly with a lovely gay guy called Jim whose brother worked in there whose name I can’t remember. It was a great meeting place - My…"
" Sorry to say “ that I am surprised that I haven’t had one reply to my memory of Harringay blowing up Ice Cream Parlour “
Thanks for the full size photo of the Harringay Ice Cream Parlour, at least there is some old…"
"I walked past this today. A wonderful Harringey Ice Cream Parlour ghost sign as been revealed under the N4 Eatery sign. Bring back the parkour! "
"Yes Hugh, That will do nicely. Thank you very much.

"Hi Roy,
Apologies for a late reply! Hope you are well and safe. I have never been to Cornwall but I'm told it is a very nice place.
After Muswell Hill, Crouch End, and Stroud Green (a bit painful to have had to move four times in five years!),…"

"Well I too remember it but have not information. I would have used it from about 1954. As I recall it was quite close to a motorcycle shop where a few years later (1960s) , working for the Hornsey Journal, I had the pleasure of meeting and…"
"Hi Roy, I remember the Ice Cream Parlour opposite the Harringay Arena. The night the place blew up my best friend was in there Terry Blackwell, as he always was. He finished up in Hospital for about 3 months, with one leg shorter than the other but…"
"Same premises as I suggested last time, Roy. Does this help?"
" Geraldine, Just seen your thread. My Mum did the same the year before 1956. Only difference mine was new, but like you I loved that bike. Can remember the first ride out was up the Cambridge Road to Wormley and back. Great,"
"Hi John,
To give us some guidance in our quest, I have thought of one means of identification of Mary. Did you have any contact with Mary's mother? If so how would you describe her?. My opinion is she was a bit (maybe more…"

- Hi Roy - Nice to meet you. I'm ex Beresford Road (1940 to 1960) now Sydney. In the 70s we used to tow a caravan to Devon/Cornwall. You live in a beautiful part of the world. And yes, I regularly used the 'mushroom' at Turnpike Lane as a meeting point.

- Hi Roy, can't help noticing you and Keith swapping some memories of your scouting days. Would you have any objection to me cutting and pasting your comments into this discussion on scouting as I'm sure others would love to read them?

- Hi Roy, afraid it's not me who has been in Kimberley Gardens for so long - we've only been here for the past three years. Julie
