St Mary's School
A Memory of Hornsey.
I lived in Hornsey up until 1960, I attended St Mary's School, Priory Rd (Hornsey High street?) I finished with school there in 1950 and was there four or five years? I think the headmaster was Mr Ball(?) There was a music teacher Miss Thrower(?) I would be interested being in touch with anyone who attended there at that time or in the areas mentioned below. I lived on Rathcool Gdns in those years. The Vale, now obliterated from physical memory, had a collection of small stores; newsagents, butchers, bake shop, greengrocers, shoe repair and other assorted shops. The Abby pub and a small factory that made car batteries. It was the local shopping area other than in Tottenham Lane or down in the Broadway! Nothing stays the same but it would be nice to hear from someone who knew and remembers that time and area. It may be a bit late in the day for this, but you never know?

four kids:From the oldest Beryl(?) Brian,Derek,Alan. I chummed
around with Brian at one time. Have been able to make contact
with any of them over the years? I believe they moved away to Enfield not long after I left in 1960 for Canada and have been here ever since. The best move I ever made. though I still have some fond memories of growing up around there, even with the bombing and 'Doodle Bugs' They say you should never revisit old haunts etc. and there's some truth to that for it can taint the memories you have. London has changed and the demographics are evident but parts of London still have charm and historical significance. Id be interested to hear of other memories you may have and it will jog my memory too! Thanks for replying.
