Well you've got me confused then Roy !! Did you know of the Hole family ? THEY lived in corner house of St Anns and Woodlands junction, on right as you turned into Woodlands. I'm sure their address was Woodlands Park as opposed to St Anns. The front door was set at about 45degree angle to road. The front room looked out onto St Anns, side room/kitchen looked onto Woodlands. There was Mum, Dad and 3 brothers, Bill, John and Dave. They lived there from late 50s to 70s time. Mum and dad moved out to Kent around 64 leaving the 3 boys as sole occupants. At least until party nights ! It was like open house to us all. Great times......... As regards the Krays, I met a woman who was supposedly associated with the Richardsons. She lived half way up Salisbury Road on right. (Had trouble accessing your message Roy, I couldn't view all of it). Got it eventually though not convinced I've cracked it.

Me again, don't worry I'm not stalking ya !!
Another entry where you state you lived in prefabs in Woodlands Park Road.
Did you know a Robert Lucas, lived in terrace of houses on same side and just past prefabs if coming from St Anns ? Spose he would've been born around 1950.

Don't know what went wrong there but I lost a comment half way through.
But anyway I noticed your comment about attending Woodlands Park School.
I attended Infants around 1953 - 56 and Juniors 56 - 60 so just missed each other. I then went to South Grove. I lived in Harringay Road, what about yourself ?
And yes the dentist clinic...........put me off for years !
