Does anyone else suffer this problem? I live in Woodside Ward the other side of the High Road but we have similar speed humps to those in Bowes Park. Whilst I am wholly in favour of speed…Continue
Children's wardrobe anyone?

I live in Maryland so could help you carry this if you wanted a children's wardrobe. Originally 1940s I should think but painted an attractive pastel green with appropriate Harry Potter et al…Continue

As I'm sure many of you are aware, this red brick building from 1906 has been vacant some time. The initial plans for demolition and a 40 cell holding centre were thrown out by Haringey and by…Continue

Hello, my name is Storm and I am a blue male (I think) budgie about 9 years old. I have been a widower on my own for some time now and miss the company of other birds. I am now ready to seek a new…Continue

Michael Cordwell James replied to Richard McKeever's discussion New Banksy Artwork in Wood Green High Road
"Wow! Thanks for the alert! Just caught the tail-end of that, was Clare Kober interviewed? Glad it might not get the full price because of a 'legal question' hanging over it, but missed what that was exactly...

HGVs shaking the house!
Does anyone else suffer this problem? I live in Woodside Ward the other side of the High Road but we have similar speed humps to those in Bowes Park. Whilst I am wholly in favour of speed restrictors like these, it is our experience that larger vehicles (eg skip lorries) can and do drive with impunity at a greater speed than the permitted 20mph. This results in a bone shaking thump felt right through the fabric of our 1902 terrace home. Since this is a residential road this is fortunately an…See More
Michael Cordwell James replied to Dean Evans's discussion The Passmore Edwards Centennial
"OK, thanks anyway. Will let you know if I find out anything!"
Michael Cordwell James replied to Dean Evans's discussion The Passmore Edwards Centennial
"Hi Dean
I am interested in finding out more about a Dr Charles Hamilton Connolly, wh was Wood Green's Medical Officer till his death in 1910. I believe he was based at the Passmore Edwards Hospital. Do you know where I might be able…"
Michael Cordwell James replied to Lindsey Clarke's discussion Is Haringey Civic Centre ugly?
"This is the source from where I understood the Civic Centre to be a 30s design. It's the Victoria County History online:
At Wood Green the local board and the U.D.C. began with 12 members. (fn. 56) In 1910 membership was raised to 18 and the…"
Michael Cordwell James replied to Lindsey Clarke's discussion Is Haringey Civic Centre ugly?
"I think I remember reading it was designed in the 30s but not built till the 50s, in which case I guess it's possible they added a cold war bunker at the time of building.

Michael Cordwell James replied to Lindsey Clarke's discussion Is Haringey Civic Centre ugly?
"Are people aware that Haringey Council intended to demolish this building and sell for redevelopment just before the Iceland crash three or four years ago? Haringey proposed building a new council chamber on the back of Woodside House and…"
Michael Cordwell James commented on Richard McKeever's blog post Wood Green Bowls Club gradually fading into decline.
"The 'Honours Board', noting annual winners going back to 1935 or so is in safe custody, awaiting a new and more positive twist in the fortunes of the Bowling Club Pavilion! (I don't have them - there are three in all - but they…"
Michael Cordwell James replied to Kevin@The Ground Bean Café's discussion Did you spot this flying machine on Friday 13/7/2012 at mid-day?
"Yes! I was in the garden at home in Wood Green and heard then saw it too. I assumed it was part of the build up for Olympic security, but the Farnborough Air Show explains it all!"
Michael Cordwell James commented on Richard McKeever's blog post Our Musical Heritage: Wood Green Jazz Club
"Incredible! Thanks so much for this."
Michael Cordwell James replied to Richard McKeever's discussion Who are our Local Heroes?
"I quite agree, and as elsewhere suggested, local historian Albert Pinching would be an invaluable guide in identifying local people who have contributed to the local community."
Michael Cordwell James replied to Richard McKeever's discussion Who are our Local Heroes?
"Sir Percy Alden MP had some connection with Wood Green about the 1910 time. I don't know where he lived though. He was a labour MP, killed by a flying bomb in the second world war."
Michael Cordwell James replied to Richard McKeever's discussion Who are our Local Heroes?
"The British Hollywood actor Jack Hawkins was born and lived in Lyndhurst Road, no. 45. Blue plaque was turned down apparently, but he certainly merits a Haringey green one. As the place is now a let the landlord's permission would need to be…"

Richard McKeever said… - Hello Michael - welcome to the prototype site... plans are afoot to develop a fully formed version for later in the autumn.
I did briefly mention the Woodside Park Jazz picnic in a short forum piece - as the site develops there will be many more opportunities to promote and report on other activities.
Looking Forward to Sunday - hope the weather holds!
Richard
