High Cross Road

A Memory of Tottenham.

I lived in High Cross Road from 1945 to 1954. I have two brothers Barry and Bill (Paul).
I went to Down Lane School and Page Green School before I moved away. All my relations and friends lived in the same road or surrounding Colsterworth Road and Welbourne Road. Years later I sang in a pop group in The Swan on the corner of Phillip Lane. My mother, Dolly and father, John passed away some years ago. Like me they would be saddened to see what has happened to the Tottenham of that era.

As an afterthought I wonder if anyone out there knows what happened to the band I used to sing with in the Swan on the corner of Phillip Lane. The group was first called Johnny & The Bobcats and changed the name later to be Group 004 + 1. The members were Bobby Savage Lead Guitar from Dongola Road, off Phillip Lane, Bernie Allen Drummer from Avondale Road, off Phillip Lane, Tony Deeks Rhythm Guitarist from possibly Marley Court, off Phillip Lane and Joey Vale Bass Guitarist who came from somewhere near Omnibus way Walthamstow.

Please get in touch if you have any news of them.
