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?

Southgate, Ye Olde Cherry Tree Inn c1955
Ref: s641019
The Cherry Tree was my main watering hole as I had so many friends in the area. Stan Chrees from Oakleigh Road, Bernard Downes, Edwin Hodson, to name but a few. Oh the days before mindless fruit machines, when pubs were for drinking and making friends.
The beer was good, but the Old Forge restaurant was superb. A real posh nosher as Stan used to call it; their food was just so excellent.
I had many girlfriends from the area. Margaret from The Bourne and Christine from The Mall. I do hope that life has been good to them.
Had the photo been of my era, I am sure that my Riley would have been in the photograph.
No mention has been made of the "stocks" opposite on the village green. I wonder if they are still there or have been victims of mindless vandalism.

Hi, I'm writing about Southgate Seals Swimming Club and the Halliwick School for Crippled Girls. Can you help me?

I was born in Southgate in 1938 and lived near Oakwood Park until my teens. In the early years we were often taken to the Park to play on the swings etc. I remember the boating pond, and the tea house where, when the war had ended, we were able to buy ice creams which were delicious! Later on I played tennis on the courts in the Park. I also remember the wonderful poplar trees which were all along the paths. I also recall that there was an 'ice house' somewhere in the Park near the tea house Oakwood Park was a great place and we spent many happy times there.
