Thanks For Reminding Me
A Memory of Crouch End.
I was born in 1947 and I went to Rokesly and Park Road Secondary modern schools as well. Then it turned into Priory Vale in Haringey. Eventually, I ended up at Stationers' for two years where I did my A levels and then off to Uni. I actually lived in Mayfield Road up to 1968. I recall all the places you mention and going to the Saturday morning pictures at the Ritz, Turnpike lane with a 41 bus I remember. Queens Woods and Crouch End playing fields were my playground; we, school friends Paul Hewitt and Chris Eaves, spent most of our time on fixed wheel bikes, I had 'cow horn' handlebars I recall. I just remembered my first 'girlfriend' from Rokesly, Hazel Cox :-)
I lived in Kent for many years, at present I'm in Potters Bar but shortly I'm off to Somerset. Before I go though, I'm going back to Crouch End, I'm going to re-walk my journey to school and take some pictures too. I'm sure it's all very different but the Clock tower is still there I'm sure. I may even have a coffee in the café in Queens woods if that still exists.
