I am wearing a white blouse and the school headband in black and yellow.sixth child, second row from front. I am sitting next to Georgina Georgiou.My teacher was Miss McDonald.Yvonne Gidoen( seventh, third row from front) came with me and my sister mandy every saturday to ABC miners Cinema in Tottenham. Great memories of growing up in London in the sixties.

I'm in the back row, dead center.

I think reading from right to left back row was Ian Harrison, John Worland, gap, David Rogers, gap, Me and the next guy I remember the face but I can't remember the name.

Middle row, extreme left I think is Stella Shelagh. Fourth from the left I know the face but can't remember the name. However I remember a swimming lesson when she got into difficulties swimming a length and the teacher just let her struggle and told to get on with it. I jumped in and helped her out and got a rollicking from the teacher for my trouble.

I recognise you and Georgina and I think three to your left is Alina Bidzinski, who I'm embarrassed to say I had a bit of a thing about.

Is the guy two to my right, Georgina's brother?

I also went to Saturday morning pictures, ABC at Turnpike Lane. Hours of entertainment for sixpence, great memories. Football down at Ducketts Common and never mind Mc Donalds what about the Wimpey bar next to the picture house in Wood Green.

I went on to St. Davids C of E in Priory Road, for one year and we moved as a family then abroad. I live in Devon now but I will often take a walk around Beresford Road, Wightman Road Falkland, Fairfax and Turnpike lane to re-kindle the memories.

I would love to hear from anyone from our days at North Harringay, so if you read this please reply.

Fond regards Andy.

Comment by andrew simmonds on September 3, 2020 at 11:27: Hi David, I am in the photo but I'm not certain of the year but I would be confident with 1965/1966. Hope that helps. Are you in the shot? Nice to see a comment here. Regards Andy Simmonds.

Comment by John Shulver on September 3, 2020 at 17:09: Great comment and memories from you Andrew Simmonds. I'm from the "other side" but enjoyed the comments.

Comment by David Todd on September 4, 2020 at 11:02: Hi Andrew & John, no I'm not in the photo but thought I recognised Jacqueline Adam who live in nearby Warham Rd.

Comment by andrew simmonds on September 4, 2020 at 11:43: Hi David I remember the name now you mention it could you point her out in the photo please.

Comment by David Todd on September 4, 2020 at 15:51: Hi Andrew I think seated, 4th from left wearing grey 'tunic' though not 100% as it's a very long time ago!, if you definitely remember the surname of Adam then it could be, thanks.

Comment by andrew simmonds on September 7, 2020 at 16:54: Oh crikey this ain't easy. I thought that was Janet Allemandy who lived on the Allison rd. passage in Beresford rd. That really does not mean I'm right though. Oh well perhaps someone else will pick up on this and help us out. Regards confused of Devon.
