We live at the other end of the Limes Avenue and have been searching for photos of our house from years gone by. It was built in 1901 or photos of the very close vicinity. Maybe even people who used to live here

I wonder if anyone can help? My Mum lived in The Limes Ave between 1930 to 1945 (ish) she always told the story of Mable Searl, who was stabbed to death in her kitchen, can anyone shed any light on this? Mum's memory was not good towards the end of her life, any help would be great.

I lived there in the early 60's. We only moved (1964) because my Dad was told that the area was due for redevelopment :( Lovely childhood memeories there Garfield School/92nd North London Scouts in Grove Road
