I was born in Palmers Green in Jan 1940 and lived at 18 Farndale Ave. from 1948-1960. I went to Winchmore Hill Secondary Modern from 1951-1953. I remember the Capitol Cinema and the Saturday morning film club which was a part of most kids' lives at the time. It was either the Capitol or the Palmadium depending what was on. Sometimes there would be the usual Cowboy and Indian stuff or films about German spies, which would fire up the blood so that when we all piled out at the end we would run round the corner, over the new river bridge on Fords Grove and into the small woodland at the back of the Capitol where we would split into warring factions and recreate what we had just seen on screen.

Farndale Avenue Palmers Green
I lived at 72 Farndale Avenue and went to Winchmore Hill School. We used to spend all our summers at the swimming pool in Barrowell Green , My surname was Hall.
Winchmore Seconday Modern School
I would like to get in touch with former pupils at this school. My name at that time was, Cynthia Bradshaw. I lived at Hadley Way, not far from Grange Park, Green Dragon Lane, also near Grovelands Park. I started in 1947 and left in 1951. My last form teacher was Miss Todd, there was Miss Jack who use to teach cookery and Mrs Metcalf was the P.E. teacher. It would be nice if I could come into contact with Pat Allan and Bobby or anyone who remembers me.
