Hi yes born in 1959 and lived in Cunningham road off Broad lane we ( my brothers and friends spent lots of time over Markfeild park, river Lee , Walthamstow marshes . I remember the Bamberges fire of 1966 the year off World Cup Willy . I think of those days a lot with the Tottenham Kangaroos cycle track up near Stonebridge lock .We moved to Essex in 1975 just before the hot summer of 1976 . Still following “ The Spurs “ for my sin’s.
