A Naughty Boy In Tottenham!

A Memory of Tottenham.

I was born in Wood Green but lived at 460b Lordship Lane over a boot repair shop from a couple of days after until I was about 11.
I attended Risley Avenue Infant and Junior schools from 1946/7 until 1951 then we moved to 8 Scales Road near Chestnut road.
I spent a lot of time in Lordship Lane Rec especially the traffic area where you could rent a bike that cost 1d per 15 minutes.I used to fly around the little roads until the bell went and my time was up!
Another place to play was the beautiful little park between Tower Gardens Road and Risley Avenue.I can still smell the roses.
The school held it's sports there too,then.
The park was a disaster when I saw it later in life.Shame on the council.
My teachers were:-Miss Finch,Miss Quayle ( my favourite),Mr Richards,Mr Way,Mr Green,Mr Lugg,Mr Barnard (didn't like him!) Head was Mr Robinson (very serious man).
Some classmates:- Mary Bullen,Jaquelin Cook,Susan Monaghan,Rose Yerrell,Peggy Cummings,Eileen Price,Dennis Hawes,Dennis White,Terry Appleyard,Geoffrey Baker,Allen Ware,
Terry Pine,Tony Parkin,Susan Carney,Leonard Oldrey,Susan Luxton,Pearl Palmer,Michael Crawley,
Helen Carter (?), and a few more I will recall later.

Well I have resided in the USA since 1980,now in Richmond,Kentucky.

To you all....good health and God bless you .
Dennis Austin.
