I remember when New Southgate looked like this. I was born at number 44 station Rd not far from where this picture was taken. I think we had moved to Ladderswood Way by then though.

Strange to see that picture. Back in 1946/7 there were such things as a printer, a shoe shop and a super bakers on the corner of (Alexander Road?) and of all things( I don't know the date) a newly opened milk bar. Somehow to have ice cream in coloured milk was almost sinful after the war. Does any one else remember this place? Only a pity I didn't take pictures at that time but film and cost were prohibitive to me

The name of the bakery was Akers I think. I lived above the bakery on the top floor. The window on the angle was the living room. My great aunt lived in Alexander rd. I went to Garfield Road school
