Bits I Recall
A Memory of Winchmore Hill.
Trolley buses ran along Green Lanes from Finsbury Square; turning right for Enfield at Mason's Corner. The 244 route went from Collegiate School, Winchmore Hill to Muswell Hill. Chalkleys the bakers was on the corner of The Green & Broad Walk had houses for celebrities & football champions. Keble School where I attended, boys only, had summer uniform including grey felt hats with a brim & hatband in school colours. Miss Swinburne & Miss Harper were the principals - Swinny had a senior rank in the WRAC - bad news to be given 6 of the best by her. There was a tennis club in Vicars Moor Lane, another opposite the Cherry Tree pub in Southgate.

We also incidentally moved circa 1955 to Winchmore Hill Collegiate school and I well remember the 244 bus waiting opposite the school to pick up passengers
Do you have any information or pictures of Collegiate school by any chance at that time please?
