I worked as a carpenter on the construction of the Civic Centre for Allen Fairhead &Sons whose H.Q. was in Enfield Town just down the road from Lyons Corner House opposite the gas company. I got married during this period and was working seven days a week as I needed the cash, I cleared seventeen pound a week!
The layout for the flower box on the right side of the building (not shown in photo)was a screw-up, instead of being om the same line as the main building it goes off at an angle, funny the things you remember after 50 years.
