new years greetings brothers ,no snow little chilly under arches ,//substitute for youth // yes being allowed to grow into skin gracefully & enjoy senior benefits ,,its a blessing getting ready to go & not see what is happening to gods creation being made a mockery all the wickedness seems to be coming to a head ,,, seems few will survive the heavenly delights ,he who laughs last in gratitude shall enter eternal happiness //POOR OLD JOLLY ENGLAND

All of us who had the privilege and pleasure of living and growing up in the "HILL" and contributing and sharing emotions, anecdotes and memories - it was fun, but as someone has said... 'its Goodbye from me - goodbye from him and goodbye from all the others"

Springfield Park Bandstand still standing! OK - replaced - stuck on chewing gum gone! Scratched on names and messages gone but Bandstand (OK not original) but still a monument ......to us ex Hill kids (well, we were kids once)!?

I was in the home at the same time October 1960 My son was born on New Years Eve. I remember some of the girls, Paulette and Elizabeth, who Ithink came from Reading. I think she had lovely red hairs. the girls were all lovely, sadly in the same plight as myself then.

I can be found

I wrote sometime back to you, John. I am really hoping that as time has passed that you have some comfort. Life is so short that I hope your birth mother Jacqueline is now in your life.

to really settle the situation in north v lord tump on to a plane and drop him on their leader

What a great idea. Why on Earth hasn't anyone else thought of that. It must be a first. A "Hillboy" special.

ydde

(ps I still cant spell proper)

salutations o wise one my self I fair health just her indoors seeing three or four consultants a month off to Watford tomorrow another gym day lost....alas I believe you are right about the once fabulous HILL as for parking no problem there is no parking all the spaces are taken keep well and keep hoping the HILL will return

live long happy and healthy

ydde

you have just read my mind I was just about ready to delete this site from the favorites list as it seems there are no people that are proud of their roots any longer it might be that some of the memories are fading or the fingers can no longer do the walking (a tv adert in uk) I believe the problem is with the internet as words in print are taken at face value so what anyone types may upset a lot of people whereas talking face to face people can read your face and realise that your words should be taken in an entirely different way

ilve long happy and healthy

walking back to happiness whoopee oh ye ye..

St marys stamford hill was where i was when i had my son at hackney hospital in march 1963 . Would be so interested to know if still there if not what is there. Also love to hear from anyone there at same time i left apreil 1963

Hi

Yes I am simeon

i was in st marys in 1971 my son was born in hackney hospital i am still friends with1 of the girls would love to contact any1 who knew me then. i was to get my son shane adopted but decided to keep him sadly he drowned in 1979.My name was johanna

My mum Julie Hoole know in the home as Lynn, spent some time at st Mary's before and after I was born. Today I found a letter from a girl she got to know while she was there. My mum would love to get in contact with her. Her name was Jennifer. In the letter Jennifer mentions. Audrey, Gay, Liz, and felicity. I was born on 6th may 1960.

My mother ended up at St. Mary's, 153 Stamford Hill, London N16 in 1938. It was like a home for unmarried mothers and was run by the nuns. My mother ended up there from Shropshire would you believe and ended up giving birth to my half sister not far away at 102 City Road, London which must have been the local hospital. I have a small baptism certificate from the nuns relating to my half sister and it is headed St. Mary's, Stamford Hill. I went to Google Maps and entered the address of St. Mary's, 153 Stamford Hill, London and it showed a large ornate building which I suspect was St. Mary's. My half sister now lives in New Zealand and has been there for 52 years!

Hi Elizabeth, could I kindly ask you to contact me on the email above.

I am seeking to trace someone who had a daughter who was subsequently adopted. The details match with the information you have posted, I would very much like to discuss this in more detail if at all possible.

Many Thanks

where have all the people gone long time passing

can I do you nah sir?

I wont take my coat off im not stopping

ullo ! ullo ! can yer ere me muvva?

Hiya, I am trying to find out a little bit more about St Mary's as I am doing some research on behalf of a friend, as we think her mother may have been born or stayed at St Mary's, we were particularly interested in speaking with anyone who was there in October 1960 - Its a long shot we know, as we do not know if there is definitely a connection but it would be good to speak to anyone who had stayed there and went through the awful process of adoption during that time. We really are struggling to gain more information as we know very very little. Please contact

one potatoe two potatoe three ,,or eeny meeny miny mo

Just can remember what I had for breakfast....can't go back that far!...sorry

"Billy No-mates" comes to mind!?

Or as was previously mentioned, grievances with SH or the people who lived there!

Love to help....however, can't remember any. Can't think why.

WHO CARES ?EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE PERFECT TO ME ,SURE THEY COULD GET IN TO MY LAND ROVER NOW //PIP

T - WAS not ME MUST BE SOME ONE ELSE IMPERSONATING ME USING MY NAME

Instead of you ridiculing other's comments re the Hill in the 50's/60's or elsewhere, how about YOU regaling everyone with some of YOUR past life anecdotes - either YOUR Stamford Hill experiences or further on!

Now this should be interesting...........???

Sorry Pip....don't remember any of those things

Al Zeimer? I remember you. must be 50 years or even more since I saw you. Do you remember me

WOW what a great person //10 million blessings on your kishgers ,thats what i call a cool dude made of dynamic attitude ,,and enjoyed life before things like political correctness etc , we know the present times are no comparison to present ,,but its nice to share ones experiences & things we got so much pleasure from fortunately i have a great deal of time and try to make the most out of remembering the great times .//dont even cost ant thing ?? ,,so very nice to hear others protect our eternal memories,,, that's the sort of person made of the real stuff //pip--- forever in your grace

to my friend ,the heaven has opened to us struggling commentators & the real marching band has answered our call ,always a few flies in the ointment ,,called spoil sports ,EDDY what times we had ,even my army days where great in the first city of London WINCHESTER WHERE I STATED MY MUSICAL CAREER with 24 inch wast & full head of bark curly hair WOW IS ME / bY the way eddy you owe me a letter me thinks // QUESTION OUT THERE ,,,/HAS ANY ONE TICKLED A TROUT OUT THERE ,QUITE A EXPERIENCE ///KNOW What YOU ARE THINKING or heard a dawn coir , ,,,whose things also matter in life's daily herdy gerdy //PIP you can do it

GOD bless all those naughtiest of naughty in to days standards it would not even have a classification life to me and i hope to others HAS BEEN extremely colorful ,it some times goes fast so grab it by the B ,,,,,S ,never over till the fat lady sings //only a expression no o fence given / we just get more personality in our body's ,adventure has always been part of me ,from the time i bought my first car and ventured into Hampstead edgware etc saw how the others lived from my home jn morley house flats cazenove rd ,, // PIP ITS NEVER TO LATE OR OVER sure my folks are looking over me with pride

nothing really made me cry about those great times gone by ,but there where times when a sadness came over me when i never pulled a beauty from the Sunday dances ,after polishing my car all day to impress a tantalizing maiden ,what makes me very sad not to hear from those entertaining ladies with so much intelligent memories ,please //can you spar a few lines for poor old pip to encourage the spring in my step while walking the dogs //anecdotes no //antidotes yes ,,,never get bitten by a snake in BUTISEMO IF NO REAL FRIENDS ARE STANDING BY ,,,PIP to S H with love

Any anecdotes of S H to make us laugh (or cry)? Any stories?

TO MY, s h ,, champions may all your wonderful memories last for ever ,shame some did not do to much in 50-60 ,,,,every thing in my growing up in s h appeared in forming who i am in later life today

that excitement still lives in many of us ,dont have to be young to enjoy wonderful times looks like old boychick is getting ready for his big move shame as i am sure he can offer us a few renderings if his memories are still alive /i am so delighted with response truly us Stanford hill crowd will always bond together no matter where we live .. //must have come from our ladies very intelligent rep or ,miss you all

Doh...so that's alright then....back to the Egg Stores....etc

We've been there, done all that - talked about old friends, past experiences and the places these "experiences" took place!"

Not only at SH in 50's/60's but over the later years too!

You (Old Kruncker)) were obviously not paying attention so missed all those chats - so your loss!

We were obviously having fun while you sadly weren't!

Memories yes, but all you talk about is Salt Beef Bar,Cazenove rd, the Egg stores etc. not stories , real stories, real experiences, of people and places of yester year.Come on you can do better than that.
