More about this scene

Between the underground station and the parish church, this is a wonderful neo-Tudor pub of 1936 by A E Sewell; he also designed the Crown and Anchor in High Street, Chipping Barnet, and the Goat near Forty Hill, Enfield, in the same style for the brewers Truman, Hanbury and Buxton.

Colin, I love these memories of yours and can remember just about all of it. When were you at Edgware Primary and Spur Road?
I lived in Edgware from birth in 1959 until 1983 so saw a lot of changes, it was a great place to grow up and I will try to share more detailed memories soon. My primary school was Aylward (technically in Stanmore) and I have been trying to trace contact details for David Barber, who would have been at Aylward roughly from 1964 to 1970. He did me a kindness once that will have seemed small to him at the time but was ...see more
