Re: Southgate Swimming Pool And Halliwick
The 'crippled' school was on the corner where Green Lanes becomes Ridge Avenue. Coming from Palmers Green and Winchmore Hill Green Dragon Lane [where my family moved to in 1955] runs off to the left and another road ran alongside of the school. We left the area in 1960/61 and the school was still there then. Do you remember the garden fete held annually in the grounds?

My grandfather, Stanley McCarthy, was the chairman for Halliwick around this time. I have stills and movie film of one of the fetes taken by my father.

Yes, I remember the Annual Halliwick Fete very well, it was a popular event with great raffle prizes. Although the school wasn't 'crippled' as you state, but it was for disabled children. They no doubt made a large contribution to funds from the fete. The lovely grounds are now a housing estate.
