The Crescent
A Memory of Tottenham.
I was born in The Crescent, South Tottenham in 1945. I went to Crowland Road Primary School and later Markfield. My mum Glad, worked at the Jewish Hospital in Stamford Hill. I remember going to Saturday morning pictures to the Super and paying sixpence to get in. There were not too many cars on the road then, so we were able to play in the street quite happily or go to the rec in Crowland Road. I loved the jumble sales at the hall at the end of the road. All in all, my brother Jimmy, Mick and I had a good childhood in Tottenham. My best friend was Maureen Lockett she lived at No 22.
