Edmonton Green

A Memory of Edmonton.

I was born in Stanmore Rd n15 in 1953, but moved to Edmonton Green early 1954, so I was told. We lived above Gearys Bakery next to the Golden Lion, my dad worked in the bake house the other side of road.I knew all the stall holders and most shopkeepers, Joe Stavely was one of my favourites. We lived there till 1965 when they started to knock it down, we moved to Galliard Road. I have great memories of Edmonton, I married an Edmonton girl, one of the Branch's, still married 41 years later, we were married at All Saints church, had the reception in Lambs Institute, people were getting of the bus and coming in for a free light ale. Remember the Lido and Town Hall baths, used to go there for a bath, only a cold water tap in the flat.I went to Croyland Road school then Latimer, my brother still lives in Bounces Road, anyone want to pick my brains, be glad to help
