More about this scene
This photograph exudes the atmosphere of well-manicured countryside. It was taken literally weeks before the start of the building of a series of individual, sometimes rather grand villas, which were to extend from the heights of Highgate Hill to Crouch End. It remains an extraordinarily well-preserved and pleasing area to wander in on a sunny spring afternoon.

Nelson road/ Rokesley junior school
Hi all
I lived at 98 Nelson Road,and went Rokesley Avenue junior school.I think I had a teacher called Mrs Melhuish.
I also went later on to Crouch End junior school,park Road,around 1970,when I was around 5. I think the headmaster was a Mr Sadler.
I look back fondly on those days.
My name was Sheila Moore and I lived in Nelson Road, Crouch End, Hornsey. I went to Rokesley Infants and Junior School until 1958. My best friends were Linda Firkins and Jant Miller but the kiss was from a boy called Gordon Thickbroom. I often wonder if he changed his name
I was born in 1946 and attended Rokesley Infants school from 1951 to 1953. We baby boomers were too many for the main school and in 1952 my class was in a private house just up the road from the school. We had to march down for lunch. I really enjoyed my time there and was very upset when we moved to Clapham in South London. My mum worked part time at the Beales Bakery and my dad was a Policeman. ...see more
So lovely to find this beautiful photograph and the memories from others. I went to Crouch End High School in Shepherds Hill in the early 1970's. I also have treasured memories of Queens Wood and Alexandra Palace. The view from the school was really something. I lived in Hornsey at that time so have many memories from the whole area. I did return some years ago and walked through Queens Wood. So much changes with time!
