Re: HORNSHAY STREET
Hi Brian, I can’t help you with the clown, but believe it or not there was only about 7 meets at New Cross, 4 or 5 in 1954 before they moved to Harringay as the New Cross track was too small. I think they returned to New Cross in the 60s when Harringay was being improved for a couple of meets. This...

Hi All, I've always had an interest in the area around the Surrey Canal, especially where it intersected with Ilderton Road. In the early 70's, it was our playground! By then, it hadn't been used for its intended purpose for many years and had become a semi drained dump! I think I've mentioned it be...

When I found the picture above of The Little Wonder Pub it made me think of your mum, especially that time she dragged your granddad out of the pub one Christmas. RIP little lady. :( Ilderton Road,...
