> The Shed/the Shelf/North Bank Higbury


I was in the North Bank in 1990 when we (the gooners) were playing you (the twats) and there was a small group of about 8 people in the North Bank lower tier who broke into a song:


West Ham in the North Bank

West Ham in the North Bank

TA LA LA LAAA


Please tell me it was not you.



[Oh and by the way you do not have to call it the North Bank "Highbury" - we all know where the fecking North Bank is.........]

The Barley Lea? The Farmstead? Or the perils of Whitworth Avenue? Or a mere dalliance near Macbeth's chippy on Acorn Street?


As someone raised on this estate I am intrigued (but not offended - I did grow up there)... when and where Citizen?

I took a mate of mine from Essex (Billericay) there for a beer once as it was the only place still open late in SE5 on a Bank Holiday Monday, he was a good looking lad and soooooooooo Essex, so it was quite fun.

The first night I moved in to a residential training place for my job, we all went out and got drunk and got to know each other.


Later that night I half drunk, half sleep walked in to another blokes room, and tried to get in to bed with him.


He was afraid... VERY afraid.

I was out with a (female) gay student from the art college for her 21st. The pubs had shut, so she took us there... I went for a wee at one point, and the loos were an intimidating place.


I have never finished a pint and left a place so quickly!

    • Argentinian restaurant coming to the old gods gift unit 
    • I would love something like this if you could get it to work financially. I still miss the market on Zenoria. I bought all sorts there; furniture, clothes, pictures… No oysters though. 
    • It was a weird place, and there never seemed to be many people in it. Stalls/selling areas (they  weren't really stalls as such) came and went. For a while there was an area upstairs as well. Around the beginning of ED  gentrification,  someone opened a champagne bar near the entrance. I think it also sold oysters, though there was another oyster place in the market, possibly not at the same time. Whether it did or not, unsurprisingly it didn't last long. I can't imagine they had done any market research, or even wondered why anybody would want to drink champagne in that kind of environment. I'm not sure an indoor market would work now, but what do I know. It would depend on what it sold and whether people wanted what it sold, I suppose. It wouldn't get much passing trade in Zenoria Street, so it would have to be very well advertised.
    • Guacamoles in Rye Lane market for pretty authentic Tacos  Ganapati on Holly Grove has some of the best south Indian  food in London - light, aromatic fresh, home style cooking - lovely location and people too. Forzawine is fun for a rooftop terrace, great view, cocktails and good small plates
