I was born in Ascot road in 1959. Then my famly movd into the brand new Maisonetts in Bounces Road after the one side of Ascot road was demolished to enlarge Bretnham Road School. Amazing sieeing this film. Thanks for uploading.
So strange to see so many places I recognise. A lot of what is shown in this film in 1960 was still around in 1968 when my family moved to Edmonton. The now demolished school and college building on Montagu Road. The flats in Jeremy’s Green can be seen in the background. The alley that is still there today that runs from behind Montagu Gardens to Montagu Road. Lower Fore St, where Cooks and Jones were (opposite todays Asda, just before what was the Broadway). Church Street travelling in the direction of Edmonton Green, and the old houses on Ascot Rd. I don’t recognise the location where the policeman is seen riding his bike. Any idea?
Apologies for the delay getting back. I don't check into this channel very often. You are welcome to use footage from this video for free under non-exclusive licence. 👍👍
During my time there, the headmaster was Jones. We called him jug head. Another teacher, Mr John we called bomber. Another teacher who was my favourite was Ami. I saw him nine years later standing in Elizabeth street, Sydney, Australia. I have always been sorry that I was unable to stop and talk to him. At 36secs. The building that you see only from the rear was the caretakers. At 53secs was the wood working building. The buildings you see behind that is Jeremys Green, where I lived. At 59secs the building nearest to the camera was where we had our meals, but I think was used for some of the time as infants school.
