I saw a post on here about Jiggins greengrocers, I am the grandaughter of frank and Jackie Jiggins and we have pictures of the old market if you are particularly interested in them!

I went to the higher grade school in Edmonton 1959/65 I am interested in meeting up with anyone who attended the reunion in 2017. Especially interested in speaking with Ken Major who posted the most recent post.

just found this site and saw the name MULLIGAN of brettenham road. I used to live at number 50. Do you have a younger brother.

I lived right next to the Open Air School on Hazelbury Road about 1 block from Chalfont Road. Which end of Chalfont did you live that is a long road?

I expect you've had replies already, but yes, The hedly Ward Trio were performing there that night. Cliff Richard and Bruce Forsythe were in the audience. HWT were superb and when Jerry Lee came on the audience wanted them back.

A couple of days before the concert the news about JLL marrying his 14 year old cousin hit the headlines and the audience gave him a very hard time.

Hi Brian,

Glad you remembered the good old days. We had so much fun then. Edmonton is not the same any more. It has been some time since i have been on this site. Micky Walters sounds familiar to me also. I have lost contact with everyone I grew up with in England, but that's life. Let me know what is happening over there. Did you ever know a Michael Richer. He was in a judo club and evidently pretty good.

Keep in touch. Tanks

Jennifer (Trueman) Ebeck

OMG Brian. It has been couple years since I was on this site. I believe I knew Micky Walters. Wasn't he a judo champ of some thing. Would love to connect with him also, if possible. Would love to put my e-mail address on here, but am a little scared about that. Maybe I should open up another one just just for this.

Hope you reply. Take Care

Jennifer

Dick Tarrier was top amatuer boxer and trainer at Eldon road A.B.C.Training Wadham,Clews,Teagle,Brothers ect.

Hi My name is Terry Roff I believe I used to work with you Uncle Dick Tarrier At the B.O.C. In Angel Road Edmonton, as an apprentice. Dick was the leading hand in the Boltmaster shop this was between 1965 and 1970. As an apprentice this was one of the shops we went in. He was a very colourful character.

I would be interested if this was him.

Remember it all , great days.

Oh yes the Regal for dancing what great days they were,the stage would turn and another band would play. The Creep was the dance, teddy boys and girls were the fashion. Such good memories.

My Grandmother lived on Brettenham Road there was a little off licence on the corner and she would take her jug and get it filled with beer.

Anyone here who lived on Chalfont Rd?

I went to Eldon Road school. Headmaster Mr Harvey, Mr & Mrs Kemp, a teacher who married a Pakistani and had two ceremonies. She gave all her pupils copies of the photos. My friends, Rowena Jacobs, Martin(I was in love with ) Duncan with a runny nose, Sandra, blonde and freckled, Denise who shared a room and bed with me in Belgium on the school holiday....More than one Susan and Christine, a ball room dancer who went to Latymer. Ena Thatcher....A boy who disappeared and did not come back to school, a boy who was impaled on a fence but survived, Janet who went to the grammar with me. Parry, a fellow welsh person but rude as all boys were at the time to a foreign looking person with a welsh accent.

Seeing Billie Davis and the Stones in an early concert, lying to my parents about where I went that night.......

Then do not respond idiot

Does anyone remember the Manley family of 7 brothers and 5 sisters who lived in Hawthorne Way? I was the youngest boy who started off in Hazlebury road School, went to Silver Street school, then to a middle school, then to Joseph Priestley School in Hackney. Lots of memories came back from reading these posts. Have searched for David Clements, David Lefevre, Roy Calvert to no avail. Are you all still alive?

I lived in the Off Licence in Montagu Road 1944-1971, the one on the corner of Jones scrap yard. The King's Head on a Friday night I believe was the Shoe String Club which I always attended, always had great rock and roll bands, much Chuck Berry, Coasters tunes. Imperial Hall once had Little Richard, and of course Edmonton Regal for Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley maybe Buddy. I still support the great era of the rockin' 1950s.

I attended Eldon Infant Junio & Senior School left in 1957 was anyone else there at that time I Lived in Town road my Mum & Dads house was pulled down in the 70's to make way for nursing home I think they said they were dangerous because of the bombings in the war does anyone else remember or live near there all my Aunts & Uncles still live in and around my name was then Sylvia Butcher e-mail

I remember that also remember the Cart over thrown used to walk from there over Pickets lock along towpath to the pub cooks ferry with mum and dad my dad worked at the gas works driving the crane

Christmas as all the stall holders would be out all night. Pyms Park, Tottenham Royal, White Hart Pub Rock & Roll every Sat. so many memories now live in Beccles Suffolk, it is an old Market town just as Edmonton used to be so felt at home her but so many memories I wonder is anyone on this site remembers myself or my family my name then was Sylvia Butcher used to gather at the green at the time with all the Teddy Boys does anyone remember those times. Caters Staverleys Leatherbarrows Whitney's they cer

Hello Jennifer, sorry for the delay in replying, shame you have no contact with your sister and I have no idea of where she could be. I have not had much success trying to find anyone that attended Hazelbury School during the late 1950's. Regards Pam

Hello John Ruscoe. I also rember George Tarrier and you of course. We all went to Eldon Road school. I lived in St. Peters Road. Great times!!

Alf and Edna i used to call them mum and dad tony pain used to run the dance hall out back and the blues room

I remember pre fabs at the top of Galliard Road.

They just laid back about 15 feet ,at most, from the road.I remember going inside one but don't recall who lived there.They were in what is now part of the park,behind the railings.

That would have been around 1958 ish.

dancing at the Regal Ballroom,and the Royal Tottenham was my passtime.The stalls on The Green,Trades hall at the Angle,and George Hannermans dancing school.Happy days.

My Grandfather lived in Dunholm road and his name was john (Jack) Martin

Well I lived in a prefab in Inkerman Place which was an alley just off Sebastibol Road.

Hi Pam.

Yes I am Audrey's sister. Small world isn't it. However,me and the family have lost touch with Audrey and her family for the past several years. We don't know where they are. If you do know where they are we would appreciate you telling us. Other than that, it is nice hearing from you.

Best regards

Jennifer

Hi Brian,

OMG I can't believe I actually have contacted with someone from the past. I haven't been on this site for sometime. As I said before I live in Florida. If you would like I will set up a e-mail address so we can correspond If you are married tell your wife not to worry I have been married for 47 years.

i would love to know what you and our mutual friends have been up too all these years,

Take care

Hi all, does anyone know of any dance classes in the Edmonton area N9/N18 or Ponders End for adults? All I can find is Zumba, belly dancing or stuff for kids and the over 50's. I'm looking for something like modern dance, popdance, tap etc something informal for fun thats in the area without having to go to Enfield. Anyone got any ideas? Please let me know if you do, I'd really appreciate it.

I lived there in the prefabs we back on to the field remember had fairs on the field Remember very little of it moved away when i was about 4 1/2years old Moved to waltham cross Must have moved in when my dad came home from the war

yes horse and cart on a sunday night with all the sea food on. lovely old days no keys just a bit of string through the door . at old st marys rd. great days 50s and 60s.

Are you Audrey Trueman's sister? I know she lived in a house next to Hazelbury Sec mod Girls school during the 1950's I was there 1954/58 as Pamela Clifford.

Chas Hodges wasn't there, that's too early (1958). He was there at the Regal in the 1963 tour.

Yup, an Inkerman Place Prefab is where I lived after moving from my Grandmothers house in Stockton Road. Were those prefabs really built with asbestos?

I lived in a prefab in Inkerman Place till I was 3 years old....sounds as though they were close and named after old Wars

Who did?

John, when are you going to write back as I have Steve Blackman wanting to contacted you and reminisce of old times, Steve and I chat on Skype all the time he lives in Scotland now.

Ask Chas Hodges - he was there.

Hi Brian

John Tarrier, My father in law Richard (Dick) Gordon lived in Tottenham, White Hart Lane and had a friend named Dickie Tarrier who was a profesional boxer would this D.T be a relative of yours.

Me and my sister used to walk from the leafy streets of Pretoria Road to the open air theatre in Pymmes park. This included watching Punch & Judy.

We also went to Wilbury Way School and used to go to the pictures at the Regal on Saturday mornings with our friends.

Did you know Bob Marley played at the Regal before he became famous?

I still live in Edmonton – very different now though!
