Welbourne Road

A Memory of Tottenham.

My mother, Hilda, was the youngest of the Wilmshurst family who lived at 119 Welbourne Road. She went to Page Green School.Their father was a gangerman and built roads- some of his sons were in his gang. He went to the Hope and Anchor every night and had an allotment. Their mother Minnie died in 1929 and the oldest sister looked after the younger brothers and sisters. Mum told me that she knew she was poor but didn't feel poor. I suppose everyone was in the same position. Other members of the family were-Nellie, Ron, Ben, Leslie, Charlie, Fred, Emma.
