    That spiral walkway is the one used in 'Some Mother's do ave em' - Frank went down it on roller skates.

    I grew up in both Upper Edmonton(N18) and Lower Edmonton(N9) between 1989 to 1998 and I also lived in Cockfosters (EN4) for a year between 1993 to 1994. What great memories of living in Edmonton back in the 1990s.

    That first ex WM Ailsa seemed almost silent. I’ve not heard one not scream before. A sound very much missed!

      Yep...I think it might have been JOV752P, that first one. It just isn't right if an early Ailsa doesn't absolutely scream its head off.
      The third and last one is great, I think it's either JOV742 or 747P. 🙂

      Because they completely did the road design rubbish I feel sorry for larger cars and that
      And staff happening too
      Plus in ponders end the long streatch of road a design of a zerbera Crossing at the Conor of the weather spoon pub till they change the name I think
      there is a black and red zebra crossing design I'd never seen a design like that before I blame the highway maintenance when it should be like a original zebra crossing design black and white

      @@Giuseppe1299 Yes I agree, the road design now looks appalling so unnecessary for their to be more traffic lights in the E Green area, as it causes more air pollution from halted cars. Ponders End ain't any better too. Edmonton, Ponders End & Turkey Street are one of the most deprived areas in London.
