Hornsey Rise (Other Side of Crouch End Hill), c1905
"Lewis Collins, who lived in Crouch End, wouldn't get out of bed in the morning, and was always late getting to the studio. Answer? The studio came to him! That's why lots of episodes of The Professional are shot around Crouch End.…"
"Muswell Hill Joinery in Hornsey High street, used to fit thin double glazed sealed units in sash windows at a reasonable price. Don't know if they still do that. You can buy kits for sash windows to stop drafts and heavy lined curtains for the…"

"Why does Wightman road stop, and Alroy road start? Was there a break between these roads? Which came first? Most people think that Wightman road runs from Turnpike Lane to Endymion road. "
Pink Floyd in Wood Green 1968/69
"You've left out The Dave Clark Five. Dave Clark lived in Philip Lane above a shop (just like Rod Stewart in Archway) and they played the Tottenham Royal in the 60s."
"You may have to change the stopcock in your front garden, at your expense if that's where it's leaking from. Thames Water only do repairs up to your property. "
"You need a roof light (skylight) fitted in place of the dome, so that all the hot air can escape. You can get remote controlled ones with blinds (I think Velux sell them). If you want more fitted, it will be expensive as the builder will have to…"
Duckett Road, 1964
"Coburn And Hughes was a motor bike shop if I remember correctly. The folding doors fascinated me as a kid (I'm been a carpenter for 44 years). Across the road there was a shop that sold sports cars, they usually had two in the front of the…"

Hello Kevin, following on from a previous message of yours:
You mentioned there was a lad named Jackson living next door at sometime.
I just noticed in todays "Update, New Members" there is a Ian JACKSON-Reeves joined.
Could possibly be a connection ? Let me know out of interest if so.
Cheers mate.

Hello Kevin. The name Beryl rings a bell but your surname unfortunately doesn't. Mind you that is no surprise really cos I don't recall any girls surnames. Boys and girls were segregated at South Grove SM. I was there 1960 - 64.
Be interesting to know when your sister attended and names of any acquaintances she had there, girls and boys.
Where did you live Kevin ?
