    Thank you, thank you, thank you Joolz for creating this outstanding video tour and highlight of Tottenham! I had mentioned a while back that I was born there but left for Canada with my parents when I was a toddler. Since my mother died a few years ago my Dad has been endlessly reminiscing about Tottenham, their wedding there and the first home they bought off Philip Lane. You’ve packaged up a beautiful gift for him with this video. I adore all the historic highlights you shared from some of the country’s oldest stained glass to the first black football player Walter Tull - a Hotspurs player no less who also fought and died in the war. Wow. Also appreciate all the local business highlights. You are a jewel Joolz!!

    @Sharon McMillan - What a lovely message! I was also born in London, England and wound up in Canada. I wanted also to point out that the great pioneering Spurs player Walter Hull was not in fact the first black footballer to play association football in Britain. I believe that honour goes to a black Scottish footballer named Andrew Watson. He played for a Glasgow team named Queen's Park and he captained the Scottish national team in the 1880s. He has a brilliant story as well. But I agree with you, Joolz is a jewel!

    My parents bought a house in one of the roads that run off the High Road. Can't lie, I hated living in Tottenham. We were from Islington. I was so upset when my mum told us we were moving to Tottenham. I was there from 1979 to 1988. I remember the riots well. We could hear the chaos from our house. It was mad. The day after the Great Storm in October 1987 there were fallen trees and cars all over the pavement as I walked to Seven Sisters Tube. It took about 15 minutes on a normal day, I always took my time, but that morning it took almost an hour as we had to navigate our way through the trees and cars. Broadwater Farm was only a few minutes away from our house. I moved to South London in 88 and I've been here ever since. Love it down here but maybe one day I'll go back to Islington..... Great video, I've learned a lot. Keep it up Joolz!

    As an ex Tottenham boy who moved to Aus in the 1970s that was a brilliant video. The railway came through in 1872 I was born around bells as my late dad was a bell hanger for Whitechapel bell foundry He actually hung two of the new bells at All Hallows in 1960 as up to that time it only had 6 bells. He also hung two new bells at n 1957 at St Ann's church and his name is on one of the bells which I rang in 2017 when I came back to the UK Just south of Broadwater farm in what was or is know as The Rec was a model traffic area where children could ride bikes. It was set up in the late 30s , it had traffic lights and roundabout and help children to learn road rules.

    Thanks for such a great tour. My husband and I emigrated to Australia in 1981 I have talked endlessly about growing up in Tottenham now I can send a link to my boys. My family lived in South Tottenham (Colsterworth Road) and I have so many great memories of time spent playing out every day before the clearances. Some say it was so run down and had to go but as a kid it was a place of adventure. We played in the grounds of the Prince of Wales hospital. Went to school at the Green School (Holy Trinity) going for a weekly bath at the town hall along with saturday pm dances also at the town hall, Saturday morning flicks and endless adventures wandering and jumping on and off buses and the boats on the river lea. Great parks, Bruce Castle park and museum (I loved it there), Lordship Rec with the bikes, traffic lights, streets etc. The Lido I honestly loved my childhood there and the kids that all used to knock around together. So many memories thanks again.

    Damn it Joolz you made me very hungry when you when into Uncle Johns Bakery. Everything looked so good. I love cinnamon cookies and that bread sound fantastic. When I come to England I will have to look this place up. That family looked very friendly as well. Thanks for another great video. Hope another is coming soon. I look forward to them. Pip Pip and Cheerio!

Still went back to visit grandparents every week. Not been back home since early seventies. got to go back for a visit with family. I enjoy all the videos especially this one

Somewhere I’ve driven through many many times in a truck, never able to take in its charms……… 🙂 One day I will need to join on an actual tour…….. Thus inspired, I recently gave a tour to two dear friends visiting from Germany…….. Liverpool Street, through the markets, Brick Lane, Whitechapel, St Paul’s, Tate Modern and all around……. like a Joolz guide, similar height, without the dress sense or the knowledge……. Pip pip 🇬🇧🥳

    That brought back some memories as I was born in South Tottenham, Avenue Road. On the site of that paint shop used to be Spooners café where we would meet and loiter. The town hall used to be Tottenham Municipal swimming bathe (the muni) or was that next door(?) and the theatre opposite the police station in Tottenham High Road was the "Palace" aka the "Fleapit." The entire area has changed very much since I lived there as a result of large scale Afro-Caribbean immigration, not necessarily for the better or worse, just very different. West Green Road in particular was a destination where families would go to do their big weekly shop but I'm not sure that's the case now. By the railway bridge in West Green Road used to be a brilliant bakers called R & E Cave.

    The pool was next door. And west green has about three Afro Carribbean green grocers a few butchers and a couple fishmongers so it is still a place to do your weekly shop in a way. It has many africsn shops aswell where a person can get imported African groceries

    @@katherinescott389 Thanks Katherine, I thought I might have got that wrong on the "Muni." I would beg to differ on West Green Road though. In the 60s/70s, there was a complete mix of shops so everyone, including the Afro Caribbean locals did their weekly shop there but with the greater preponderance of Afro Caribbean shops there are now, I'm not sure "everyone" would consider it their destination for the weekly shop. Green Street in Upton Park has a very similar history with the large scale Asian population influx. I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just changing times.

Queues to be seen down the road for this one, and has been the inspiration for all later comers. But totally love the Namer of Clouds, as I've never noticed that, for all my inquisitive nature. 👍🏾
