A True North London Boy
A Memory of Tottenham.
I moved from St Pancras to Etherley Road Tottenham with my parents as a very young baby. I was born in 1941 and lived in Tottenham until my late teens. I went to Belmont school from 1953 to 1956 during which time I had a class girl friend called Sandy. I had many friends in those days most of whose names I cannot remember. I was a friend of Dave Clark who also went to Belmont School. I spent some time at Bruce Grove youth club where I started a skiffle group and was a regular visitor to the Tottenham Royal dance hall dressed in my "mod" gear. I have some great memories of Tottenham, but also a bad memory due to the fact that I managed to fall into the River Lea at Tottenham lock and if it had not been for the quick action of the lock keeper at that time I would have drowned. To this day I do not know who he was, so have never been able to thank him. I would love to hear from anyone who recognises my name
