Tottenham Lane Post Office

A Memory of Hornsey.

I worked as a telegram messenger at the post office in Tottenham Lane. We delivered telegrams on 250cc BSA motorcycles which covered Highgate Village. We used to go to the British Restuarant opposite Rokerly School & the YMCA building. I remember the V1 and V2 bombs dropping during the day time. I lived at Tivoli Rd, and remember a V2 landing in Palace Rd. I met my wife at a dance in Hornsey town hall with the Stan Davis band, this was in Jan 1949, after demob from the RAF, we celebrated our diamond wedding anniversary last December, now living in Cambridge.
