Born In Avenue Road

A Memory of Finchley.

I was born inAvenue Road and attended Northside School. My grandfather was on the Council and was awarded the Freedom of Finchley. I will never forget when he was invited to my school on prize giving day and I had a prize to collect from him.
We subsequently moved to Granville Place opposite the swimming pool only to be able to see the queues building up, so we knew when to go and when not to!
My other great memory was that I was part of a small group of friends which included David Jason (white). I have not put in a year this relates to as my time in North Finchley spanned 3 decades.
