> 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!

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
