Raynham Road And Leed Street

A Memory of Edmonton.

My mother was born in 1920 and grew up in Raynham Road. She lived next door to the chip shop. I remember going in to the shop as a small child to ask for the crackling from the batter. My grandparents and family owned th veggie and fruit stalls in Leeds Street and still do even to this day. When Mum took me there, my grandmother would rub a dirty carrot on her apron and then give it to me to eat. I thought that was a great treat. I have lived in Australia for 51 years now, but when I returned to England last year (2009) for a holiday, I went to visit the stall that my cousin now runs and it really hasn't changed in all those years. If anyone knows of the family, then we may have stories to exchange.
