Grandmas Sweet Tin
In the 1960s my Gran lived in Lakeside Road opposite Broomfield Park. Our family of 7 used to pile over to hers. The highlight was the sweet tin round. Broomfield Park sticks in my memory as a great park with loads to do. Palmers Green still has character, definitely worth a visit!!
