Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 23 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford HillActually it was the 653 , that's why he can't find his mum , looking on the wrong bus! Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 29 Jan Should we remove this post ? Stamford Hill Stamford hill Hi to all the hillists'it was never about going back its about where we came from and how those young years we spent growing up their shaped who we are today and how priviledged to have spent those special years with so many great friends.Whenever I visit London I walk the Hill,Clapton common & springfield patk its my memories I go back to visit and I enjoy every minute I'm their.

Stamford Hill memorys can fadeto dell ros and jacky and if he is still out there phil (pip) yes the hill was a brilliant place tolive and play but as it has been said walking about on the hill brings back all the happy memories and possibly a few sad ones but it is not the same place or we would all be doing our best to get back there and try to recapture our youth live long and happy (and healthy)eddy Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 20 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill memories.What do you mean "we would all be doing our best to get back there". I am trying , waiting for a 253 at the bus stop for ages...just not coming,like it used to be, nothing's changed. Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 21 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill "MEMORIES"Hi Eddy, Agree with all your sentiments - and we all know we can't recapture our youth or go backwards, but let's just say - "thanks for the memories." Be well luv Jacky x Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 21 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill Going back to Stamford Hill!Hi Eddy, Jacky and hillers, loved your email. It's true we would all be trying to get back there but the strange thing is, people are beginning to move back there! For example, my friend's son and his wife and baby, have moved there. I also know someone else who moved there (not particularly orthodox either.) Some parts of Stoke Newington, Church Street, etc., are quite yuppified. Its the proximity to west end, Central London, nice, spacious housing, etc., that attracts people. History of that part of London is interesting - don't wanna bore anyone - but Rothchild family once lived there, Dickens had a home in Springfield Park. There was a gallows once on the Hill, Dick Turpin did his thing in Dalston, Kingsland Road, etc., That's not to mention the many celebs who started off around the Hill and Stoke Newington. Best of all, of course, we came from there - so its gotta be a great place! Best wishes Ros Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 23 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill "253 BUS"Delboy - that's hysterical!!! Another fond memory!!! luv Jacky x Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 21 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill "Thanks for the memories"That was Bob Hope's signature tune, if I'm not mistaken. Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 22 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill The" Hill " past and present.Hi Ros, don't think Rothschilds or C Dickens would want to live there now though. As for the gallows,pity it's gone when you consider the crime there.Can you go out for a walk there at night without the risk of assault or worse? Nope , don't think so. This is certainly not the "hill" as we knew it. Cherish the memories... lol Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 23 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill the famous of the "hill"Ros you're right about Dickens living in Springfield park I clearly many years ago meeting him Gilberts buying some worsht and salt beef for his wife.Don't recollect meeting D. Turpin though. Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 23 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill "HILL HISTORY"Hi Ros - your little history lesson was not boring at all - it's very interesting to know we grew up where so many "esteemed" names were before us (now I know why I'm an A.Lister - another story)!!! Stamford Hill probably getting so" yuppified/cosmopolitan" now, they wouldn't want us lot back even if we wanted to go!!! luv Jacky x Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 24 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill Crime is EVERYWHERE!Delboy - Two weeks there was a murder in Boreham Wood, last year a murder in Edgware, nutter with crossbow in Barnet last week and rest of N.W London has loads of crap going on as does Essex - hearing about it all the time - so NOWHERE is the best place to be any more (except maybe Brighton)??? luv J x Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 23 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford HillVery few places safe to walk at night these days!!! Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 23 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill esteemed names.You an "A Lister" ? Well I never. I didn't know that. tell us all about it Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 25 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford HillThat's right, he often used the Egg Stores too, he had a "thing" for egg and onions! As for D Turpin well he was more of the jellied eel type, probably hung around Ridley Road! Ros Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 26 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford HillHi Jacky, It takes a lot of wordly knowledge and experience to get to our stage in life! There is a Stoke Newington site basically people seeking au pairs, cleaners, chimney sweeps, etc; not a lot to do with the old days! We've got a wealth of memories and knowledge, have us back? They should be so lucky!! All the best, Ros Post reply -->London Stamford Hill 26 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill dellboy re dickinsdell boy make up your mind please, either you are too young to remember trolly buses or,, having lunch with dickins you are old enough to be able to recall exactly what is was like to travel on a horse drawn bus perhaps you have lived ,long ,happy and healthy eddy Post reply -->London Stamford Hill eddy 28 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill Crime in the suburbs.cross bow eh, could have been (big) Dick Turpin..ask Ros Post reply -->London Stamford Hill delboy 24 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Stamford Hill Hi to RosOh the Egg Stores..remember it well..is still there , same frontage..amazing.
