Nice story Derek & just how I remember it, bonfire night was also a great time with the bonfire normally at the bottom of the street, kids would collect wood, old beds etc for months, I also went to Charles Lamb School as well as my brother Tony, penny for the guy made us a lot of money to buy fireworks & sweets, also Saturday morning pictures in Essex Road was another treat,

Hi Derek

Great to hear from you, wow! Your brother Robert (Bob) was one of our friends in Pickering Street back in the good old days & we all used to play out together, Bob I think is more my brothers Tony's age but I could be wrong, If my memory serves me well your flat was at the top of the street near 'Fred's' shop which would would all purchase our sweets & drinks from, Bob would remember my dads large van which we all use to sit in the back of plus playing in the back yard with my group, I have lots of names of the other kids in the street but can't seem to remember yourself. I am now 63 & live in Ruislip in Middlesex my brother Tony lives in Nazeing in Essex & my Mum is still around being 86, please do send Bob my best regards & hope that you are all keeping well & if would be great to hear more from you guys about the old days.

All the best


Paul

I lived in Pickering Street, Islington from 1951 - 1967 at number 34 V with my Mum - Doris (Doll) & my Dad George plus my younger brother Tony my name is Paul Lomas, anyone who knew me please do contact me, it was a bit like Peabody buildings with cobbled streets in the early days with gas street lighting, lots of other children & we were always playing out in the streets & back yard.
