Ever the optimist . The last time I was in Tottenham it felt like the zombie apocalypse and I had to take my jewellery off because I thought I might get robbed. A total shithole 🤦♀️
Thank you, thank you, thank you Joolz for creating this outstanding video tour and highlight of Tottenham! I had mentioned a while back that I was born there but left for Canada with my parents when I was a toddler. Since my mother died a few years ago my Dad has been endlessly reminiscing about Tottenham, their wedding there and the first home they bought off Philip Lane. You’ve packaged up a beautiful gift for him with this video. I adore all the historic highlights you shared from some of the country’s oldest stained glass to the first black football player Walter Tull - a Hotspurs player no less who also fought and died in the war. Wow. Also appreciate all the local business highlights. You are a jewel Joolz!!
@Sharon McMillan - What a lovely message! I was also born in London, England and wound up in Canada. I wanted also to point out that the great pioneering Spurs player Walter Hull was not in fact the first black footballer to play association football in Britain. I believe that honour goes to a black Scottish footballer named Andrew Watson. He played for a Glasgow team named Queen's Park and he captained the Scottish national team in the 1880s. He has a brilliant story as well. But I agree with you, Joolz is a jewel!
I bumped into joolz as he was about to film here. I was the dude staring at the menu at the somali restaurant near the police station. Glad to see my area being covered in a positive way.
500 years later my g-aunts were seven sisters who lived at Seven Sisters. I used to swim at the Tottenham Baths and go dancing at the Tottenham Royal. My dad remembers watching the roof of his school burning during WWII. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane,
Do you know what that school was called? My dad grew up in Edmonton - Langham Road during the 2WW. My grandfather was killed by a bomb there, whilst cycling past a tube station during the Blitz.
@@AtheistOrphan yes thanks that’s correct there’s no sponsored content ... Simon and I live in Tottenham and so it was a fun thing to research that’s all :-) we love it there but like all of london it has good and bad sides , we prefer to focus on the good bits though as who wants to be brought down with negativity on a Sunday afternoon :-)
As an ex Tottenham boy who moved to Aus in the 1970s that was a brilliant video. The railway came through in 1872 I was born around bells as my late dad was a bell hanger for Whitechapel bell foundry He actually hung two of the new bells at All Hallows in 1960 as up to that time it only had 6 bells. He also hung two new bells at n 1957 at St Ann's church and his name is on one of the bells which I rang in 2017 when I came back to the UK Just south of Broadwater farm in what was or is know as The Rec was a model traffic area where children could ride bikes. It was set up in the late 30s , it had traffic lights and roundabout and help children to learn road rules.
Great to see you featuring and walking through Tottenham - My great-grandparents both died in Tottenham during the mid 1900's. Great Granddad originate from Birmingham in 1873, great-grandmother was born in a small village a few miles from Exeter called Silverton in 1883. They met, married and ended their lives in Tottenham.
Thanks a million for this video. I'm in my mid 20's, grew up around Tottenham and never cared much for the history of these sights. I suppose like many of us we've kind of thought of it as a dump and couldn't wait to leave but videos like this make you appreciate the heritage and quaint little features of tottenham.
Who remembers the cycle track and rowing boats in The Rec on Lordship Lane? Used to love the funfair they had there every summer. Also remember jumping the Moselle. (Moey)
I remember the cycle track complete with pavements and zebra crossings. I also have a vague memory of allotments being where Broadwater farm estate is now, towards Higham Road.
Just when I thought another Sunday was going to pass without a new Joolzy, I just re-watched the Hampstead episode, then I see a notification.....he's only gone and released a new one. Thank you sir, you've made my day!
The building up the alleyway opposite Bruce Grove station used to be a cafe called Dillys Kitchen back in the 70's, it was owned by my father and named after my sister Dilly. I worked there myself for 2 years. Seems really weird now looking at it all boarded up, back then it was one of the best Cafes in Tottenham, thanks for showing it to us again, it brought back many great memories.
@@patricjarrett Hi Patrick, as far as i can remember everyone was welcome in the cafe, black, white, everyone, but if you say you were one of the first black guys to go in there who am i to argue. Thanks for being there 👍
@@Lakesider52 that's a good question Steve, as far as I know Dillys was the first Cafe there as i think my father had to get change of use from a normal shop to one that could serve food. I'm not 100% on that so please don't hold me to it, sadly my father is no longer around for me to ask him as he passed away a few years back.
Thanks for such a great tour. My husband and I emigrated to Australia in 1981 I have talked endlessly about growing up in Tottenham now I can send a link to my boys. My family lived in South Tottenham (Colsterworth Road) and I have so many great memories of time spent playing out every day before the clearances. Some say it was so run down and had to go but as a kid it was a place of adventure. We played in the grounds of the Prince of Wales hospital. Went to school at the Green School (Holy Trinity) going for a weekly bath at the town hall along with saturday pm dances also at the town hall, Saturday morning flicks and endless adventures wandering and jumping on and off buses and the boats on the river lea. Great parks, Bruce Castle park and museum (I loved it there), Lordship Rec with the bikes, traffic lights, streets etc. The Lido I honestly loved my childhood there and the kids that all used to knock around together. So many memories thanks again.
What a superb film. As a spurs fan who has been going for 35 years, I never knew such history existed that I have strolled past on many occasions. Will be paying closer attention now. Tottenham gets a bad name, but I love the way you've shown how tight nit and diverse it really is. Brilliant stuff sir. You have a new subscriber. Thank you very much. Just a note, I believe Bobby Buckle also now has a blue plaque just as you turn into White Hart Lane from the High Rd.
I love this video, I grew up on Broadwater farm in the 70s, and lived there again from 97 to 06, when I left the UK. So many things bring back memories, especiallly the oak in Bruce Castle Park, which I walked past hundreds of times to reach my office with the best address in the world (no number) White Hart Lane, N17
Fascinating. I remember standing in the crowd outside the former Town Hall in May 1961 to see the Spurs team appear on the balcony and hold up the FA Cup wot they just one. I laughed out loud when you played 'Spurs are on their way to Wembley' on that church organ. Nice one, Joolz!
Damn it Joolz you made me very hungry when you when into Uncle Johns Bakery. Everything looked so good. I love cinnamon cookies and that bread sound fantastic. When I come to England I will have to look this place up. That family looked very friendly as well. Thanks for another great video. Hope another is coming soon. I look forward to them. Pip Pip and Cheerio!
Lovely tour, thanks. The Tottenham Hot Spurs mention; made me think of the role I played as the Tottenham football club Manager in the Chilean TV series "Principe's del Barrio". Cheers.
easy Joolz my ends ......love it ....what I love is the dignity and respect that is had for all people feaured i live in this area an never knew of shops and history will look on now with a fondess
Your videos never fail to put me in a good mood. I left North London years ago now, but I grew up there and watching your videos always take me back - thank you for all you do!
This is brilliant. I’ve grown up in Edmonton and Tottenham and it’s so great to see local businesses given a moment to shine aswell as some interesting facts I’ve always wondered about the place. Keep up the good work Joolz! Would love to see you do Edmonton & Enfield next.
My dad was an eastender (me not) he used to talk about the seven sisters road, down there by London zoo. He took me over there one day and we found the old road sign way up on the wall. It was my highlight to the zoo and going thru the turnstile gate. I'm 69 hadn't been there since I was 8. I now live too far to travel. Memories are great. Love these videos, your a gem xx
That was great. As a Spurs fan whose never been to Tottenham your tour was inspiring. Such nice people everywhere you went. I’ll have to get to the new Stadium for a game. Thank you Joolz.
I really enjoyed this video as it brought back so many memories of when I lived in Tottenham (Northumberland Park Grove) late fifties early sixties before moving with parents to Potters bar. Still went back to visit grandparents every week. Not been back home since early seventies. got to go back for a visit with family. I enjoy all the videos especially this one
Having lived in Seven Sisters/ Tottenham area for 14 years and having gone to uni on White Hart Lane ( Middlesex Uni ), I absolutely loved this . Great video :)
Loved growing up in Tottenham, I lived there for the first 31 yrs of my life, Went to Broadwater Farm School, Climbed the old Oak tree in Bruce Castle park, Had my first (legal) pint in the Elmhurst Pub. I went back a couple of years ago for a reunion and hardly recognised the place. :(
@@richiedewen9289 Risley is still about and my son goes there now lol Ah I wouldn't of known you from the Elmhurst then, I was in there 90's and 2000's Peabody is right near me👍
@@BlackestEyes709 Probably not, We moved from Peabody to the top end of Tower Gardens Rd in 1977, then I moved away from Tottenham to Essex in 1996, I used to drink in the Moon Under Water and The Spurs before it closed.
Awesome video! I love when you guys go into smaller shops. It's such a wonderful way to get a sense of the community! Looking forward to your next offering. I'd love to see a video on Richmond one day!
@@keithd4406 A little grocers near me sells 'shito sauce'. They also sell 'Cock Flavoured Noodle Soup Mix'. Perhaps you local coop could stick that on there shelves as well.
My parents grew up in this area and we used to visit Tottenham regularly. There is so much in here that I didn’t know about the history. Great to hear all those familiar road/place names as well.
I remember throwing old pennies down the well and having a wish when I was about five The ship pub was also the first pub that served me a pint, me and my mate got on a 279 bus from Cheshunt to go there as it was the only pub that we knew we could get away with pretending we were 18 although we were only15.
Really interesting. As a Tottenham fan I’ve been up and down Tottenham High Road so many times and never turned off to explore the area properly. May do that on the first day of the season instead of going to the match
Thanks, Joolz - brought back a lot of memories for me. I'm surprised how much survives from when I was a child 55 or 60 years ago. It's a much underrated area, lots to see as your film shows.
I am a member of the Baltimore Spurs group of THFC, I thought your video was really interesting. I liked the new info about the Tottenham cake. This could be a new slant on your video's of how football teams have a community connection to the neighborhoods they belong in London.
Bless you Jooooooolzz for ruining another working day 🥳🇬🇧 I’m self employed and haven’t yet got dressed….. at near 3pm…….. however, I’ve just vicariously strolled all over and around Tottenham……. Somewhere I’ve driven through many many times in a truck, never able to take in its charms……… 🙂 One day I will need to join on an actual tour…….. Thus inspired, I recently gave a tour to two dear friends visiting from Germany…….. Liverpool Street, through the markets, Brick Lane, Whitechapel, St Paul’s, Tate Modern and all around……. like a Joolz guide, similar height, without the dress sense or the knowledge……. Pip pip 🇬🇧🥳
Joolz I always welcome and enjoy each of your films, they are a breath of fresh air, they are light-hearted, fun, educational & with a touch of dark and Spooky history thank you 💖💛💖💛👻
I grew up in 'The Ship' pub for 7 years my dad was the manager. Living in there was a highlight of my childhood had so many good times. Btw it's deffo not a Gooner pub haha.
It was a talk by Luke Howard, at the Royal Society, that Turner saw that revolutionised painting. Until Howard explained his classification system artists drew whatever they wanted to balance the painting. Turner took it all on board and all his subsequent paintings were meteorologically correct.
Another wonderful and fun walk with Joolz, Simon, and the lovely Lou!! Thanks again for making the day of a hillbilly yank in the Appalachian Mountains. Cheers!!
I want to come back to London just to make a special visit to Uncle John's Bakery! Everything looks yummy, and they are such lovely folks! And the bit about the Quebec bell in the church was fascinating-- I didn't know about that nugget of Canadian history! Thanks, Joolz. That was a great virtual wander.
The people at Uncle Johns are so nice, lovely and friendly. I hope 🤞when I get to England next year to try the sweet cake. There are some lovely old buildings in Tottenham. The amount of paint in that shop was amazing! That old church was fabulous!!, all the history to it, I would love to visit it. There is more to Tottenham than you think!
I’m a born and bred Brummie but I love history and for some reason I’m fascinated with London and it’s amazing history so this channel is a god send..so thank you keep up the great work
Tottenham is remarkably rural to the east! The road to Walthamstow is a perfect example and the railway between Lea Bridge and Tottenham Hale could be a country line !!
My parents bought a house in one of the roads that run off the High Road. Can't lie, I hated living in Tottenham. We were from Islington. I was so upset when my mum told us we were moving to Tottenham. I was there from 1979 to 1988. I remember the riots well. We could hear the chaos from our house. It was mad. The day after the Great Storm in October 1987 there were fallen trees and cars all over the pavement as I walked to Seven Sisters Tube. It took about 15 minutes on a normal day, I always took my time, but that morning it took almost an hour as we had to navigate our way through the trees and cars. Broadwater Farm was only a few minutes away from our house. I moved to South London in 88 and I've been here ever since. Love it down here but maybe one day I'll go back to Islington..... Great video, I've learned a lot. Keep it up Joolz!
Grew up in South Tottenham where my late father George had his motor repair workshop in Broad Lane. We lived in Grove Road , N15. Lovely video , top chap .
Thank you for this video. I an a son of South Tottenham. I spent the first 11 years of my life there. I still look back on those days with fondness and have been back to visit on many occasions. My Mothers adopted family were widespread in the area. My uncle was caretaker at a school in Vale Road, My Nan lived in Elizabeth Road. My Mum worked for Gestetner in Broad lane. My father was caretaker at Page Green School. I attended Earlsmead and St Ann's schools and my sister attended High Cross School ( Now Flats )! The area is much maligned. But for me the area has real character. Yes it has had and continues to have problems. But it has a deep a lasting place in my soul. Thank you again for the video. A true stroll down memory lane. As a postie for 20+ years I did not know of the Roland Hill connection to the area. Perhaps time for the second blue plaque?
Nice to see an area which I have known all my life again. It is close to my home town of Wood Green. I used to visit Bruce Castle with my grandparents.
My late dad used to talk of Wood Green and Edmonton as he was born and grew up there from 1925 and through the 2WW. He joined the Navy in 1944. He lived in Langham Road. Do you know that road, and do you know the name of the school nearest there that he might have gone to? Thank you.
@@birdsaloud7590 I know Langham Road it is off of Westbury Avenue. We lived in Cobham Road which is off of Lakefield Road which is off of the other side of Wesbury Avenue. The only schools I know are Noel Park School in Gladstone Avenue and the school in Lordship Lane.
Just found your channel thanks to Tottenham Hotspur my footy team. Of course White Hart Lane on High road not in Tottenham itself itself but you know that. Seven Sisters train gets you to Lane.
Great stuff Joolz. Used to live just off Lordship Lane. Many a time walked through Bruce Castle Park on the way to a THFC match. Also worked at the Whitbread Brewery site in the early 70's during university/school holidays. Thanks for regenerating so many memories.
Thank you for doing another amazing video Julian. I enjoy them all, but this one is of particular interest as I drive my bus down Tottenham High Road. I thought Seven Sisters must have something to with the people of the area, but I never knew what the story was until now.
I got up this morning and no Joolz Guides today sad face, then while I was baking bread watching a different you tube video the notification of your video comes up. So with flour on my hands I hit the play button, and my Sunday is complete. Thanks for the great video.JDS in AZ usa

@@SJF15 I'm still here (Woodgreen), you're right.
Fair play to Joolz, not too many people sauntering around Bruce Grove & Broadwater Farm in spectator brogues, oxford bags, cravat and a boater
Nice to see the Hovis sign is still there.
Glad you are there during the day, it’s very different at night..
I bumped into joolz as he was about to film here. I was the dude staring at the menu at the somali restaurant near the police station. Glad to see my area being covered in a positive way.

You made out like a bandit at Uncle John's bakery! They really hooked you up with all their products.

Definitely want to try that bakers when I'm next in Tottenham
Being Canadian the bell story was interesting. My father was born in Tottenham. Enjoyed this video.
And Tottenham was so great he got out before you were born ! Enough said.
This is brilliant. I’ve grown up in Edmonton and Tottenham and it’s so great to see local businesses given a moment to shine aswell as some interesting facts I’ve always wondered about the place. Keep up the good work Joolz!
Would love to see you do Edmonton & Enfield next.
Me too! I would love to see that!
hello from scotland Jules,I'm a binman up here in scotland.

THE JOYS 👍🏴
one day they'll repay the favour!
You make it sound like some far flung far-off country - we're all in the UK....you wouldn't say you're from England FFS!

I went back a couple of years ago for a reunion and hardly recognised the place. :(
I went to Broadwater farm school too. Was great.
The Elmhurst was great, i was a pub kid, great times until some guy Jay took over the place and ruined that place
Risley was my school
@@BlackestEyes709 I went to Risley Avenue infants, We lived on The Peabody estate from 1966 until 1977.
@@richiedewen9289 Risley is still about and my son goes there now lol
Ah I wouldn't of known you from the Elmhurst then, I was in there 90's and 2000's
Peabody is right near me👍
@@BlackestEyes709 Probably not, We moved from Peabody to the top end of Tower Gardens Rd in 1977, then I moved away from Tottenham to Essex in 1996, I used to drink in the Moon Under Water and The Spurs before it closed.
Another excellent video, Joolz. Watching from Gaborone, Botswana.
I took the night bus 171 a couple of times, I remember it very well. The route was great but the ride was usually crowded and smelly! LOL
This has made me very feel nostalgic as a Londoner whose been away for more than 10 years. Great channel.
Absolutely fantastic.. I spent all my young life in and around Tottenham. I now Live in Cyprus and this was a wonderful memory jogger.. Great Job!
My dad and grandparents’ old stomping ground. They lived in Langham Road near Turnpike Road until they were bombed out during the Blitz.
Awesome video! I love when you guys go into smaller shops. It's such a wonderful way to get a sense of the community! Looking forward to your next offering. I'd love to see a video on Richmond one day!
I agree, I'm going to ask, at my local coop , if they would stock " shito "pepper sauce , should fly of the shelf.
@@keithd4406 A little grocers near me sells 'shito sauce'. They also sell 'Cock Flavoured Noodle Soup Mix'. Perhaps you local coop could stick that on there shelves as well.
My parents grew up in this area and we used to visit Tottenham regularly. There is so much in here that I didn’t know about the history. Great to hear all those familiar road/place names as well.
I remember throwing old pennies down the well and having a wish when I was about five
The ship pub was also the first pub that served me a pint, me and my mate got on a 279 bus from Cheshunt to go there as it was the only pub that we knew we could get away with pretending we were 18 although we were only15.
Thank you the bit of little known Canadian history. Great episode!
Really interesting. As a Tottenham fan I’ve been up and down Tottenham High Road so many times and never turned off to explore the area properly. May do that on the first day of the season instead of going to the match
Will definitely be more interesting than watching Spurs.
Thank you Joolz and team Perfect as usual , the cannon on the pub is the emblem of the Taylor Walker brewery .
Thanks, Joolz - brought back a lot of memories for me. I'm surprised how much survives from when I was a child 55 or 60 years ago. It's a much underrated area, lots to see as your film shows.
It is a shithole, so don’t be fooled.
I am a member of the Baltimore Spurs group of THFC, I thought your video was really interesting. I liked the new info about the Tottenham cake. This could be a new slant on your video's of how football teams have a community connection to the neighborhoods they belong in London.
Bless you Jooooooolzz for ruining another working day 🥳🇬🇧
I’m self employed and haven’t yet got dressed….. at near 3pm…….. however, I’ve just vicariously strolled all over and around Tottenham……. Somewhere I’ve driven through many many times in a truck, never able to take in its charms……… 🙂
One day I will need to join on an actual tour…….. Thus inspired, I recently gave a tour to two dear friends visiting from Germany…….. Liverpool Street, through the markets, Brick Lane, Whitechapel, St Paul’s, Tate Modern and all around……. like a Joolz guide, similar height, without the dress sense or the knowledge…….
Pip pip 🇬🇧🥳
Joolz I always welcome and enjoy each of your films, they are a breath of fresh air, they are light-hearted, fun, educational & with a touch of dark and Spooky history thank you
💖💛💖💛👻
I grew up in 'The Ship' pub for 7 years my dad was the manager. Living in there was a highlight of my childhood had so many good times. Btw it's deffo not a Gooner pub haha.
It was a talk by Luke Howard, at the Royal Society, that Turner saw that revolutionised painting. Until Howard explained his classification system artists drew whatever they wanted to balance the painting. Turner took it all on board and all his subsequent paintings were meteorologically correct.
I wanted to include the Turner connection but the film was getting so long and i didn''t know enough about it. Could have done with you in the video!
found this very interesting ..I am one of seven sisters ...would love to travel to the seven sister cliffs some time
I always learn something new about London watching these.
Love the Seven Sisters song!
Me too. It is really catchy.
Another wonderful and fun walk with Joolz, Simon, and the lovely Lou!! Thanks again for making the day of a hillbilly yank in the Appalachian Mountains. Cheers!!
The bit on "All Hallows Church" and the bell tower was a GEM. It was originally known as "All Saints Church" Another great Joolz Guide watch.
From my hometown in Rhode Island I always bought Portuguese Bolos sweetbread. I may have to check out Uncle John’s and see if they’re similar!
I want to come back to London just to make a special visit to Uncle John's Bakery! Everything looks yummy, and they are such lovely folks! And the bit about the Quebec bell in the church was fascinating-- I didn't know about that nugget of Canadian history! Thanks, Joolz. That was a great virtual wander.
It smells fantastic before they open every morning aswell.
Come on jules .. don’t be scared of south London . Would like to see a a walk of Camberwell .. great work bud!
The statues on the roof ridges are called finials.
The people at Uncle Johns are so nice, lovely and friendly. I hope 🤞when I get to England next year to try the sweet cake. There are some lovely old buildings in Tottenham. The amount of paint in that shop was amazing! That old church was fabulous!!, all the history to it, I would love to visit it. There is more to Tottenham than you think!
There were a lot more lovely old buildings, before they were burnt down in the riots.
I’m a born and bred Brummie but I love history and for some reason I’m fascinated with London and it’s amazing history so this channel is a god send..so thank you keep up the great work
Just spent a week in London your guides have been amazing. Thank you
Tottenham is remarkably rural to the east! The road to Walthamstow is a perfect example and the railway between Lea Bridge and Tottenham Hale could be a country line !!
My parents bought a house in one of the roads that run off the High Road. Can't lie, I hated living in Tottenham. We were from Islington. I was so upset when my mum told us we were moving to Tottenham. I was there from 1979 to 1988. I remember the riots well. We could hear the chaos from our house. It was mad. The day after the Great Storm in October 1987 there were fallen trees and cars all over the pavement as I walked to Seven Sisters Tube. It took about 15 minutes on a normal day, I always took my time, but that morning it took almost an hour as we had to navigate our way through the trees and cars. Broadwater Farm was only a few minutes away from our house. I moved to South London in 88 and I've been here ever since. Love it down here but maybe one day I'll go back to Islington..... Great video, I've learned a lot. Keep it up Joolz!
The chimney is part of the furnace for heating the water for the swimming pool of which only the front remains.
Grew up in South Tottenham where my late father George had his motor repair workshop in Broad Lane. We lived in Grove Road , N15. Lovely video , top chap .
Is that Grove Road in Edmonton because that is where my uncle and aunt lived. 51 Grove Road.
@@birdsaloud7590 No , South Tottenham, off St Anne's Rd
Thank you for this video. I an a son of South Tottenham. I spent the first 11 years of my life there. I still look back on those days with fondness and have been back to visit on many occasions. My Mothers adopted family were widespread in the area. My uncle was caretaker at a school in Vale Road, My Nan lived in Elizabeth Road. My Mum worked for Gestetner in Broad lane. My father was caretaker at Page Green School. I attended Earlsmead and St Ann's schools and my sister attended High Cross School ( Now Flats )! The area is much maligned. But for me the area has real character. Yes it has had and continues to have problems. But it has a deep a lasting place in my soul. Thank you again for the video. A true stroll down memory lane. As a postie for 20+ years I did not know of the Roland Hill connection to the area. Perhaps time for the second blue plaque?
Another great one Joolz! Liked the church.
Great video on an area which really could do with a facelift and lots of love.
Nice to see an area which I have known all my life again. It is close to my home town of Wood Green.
I used to visit Bruce Castle with my grandparents.
My late dad used to talk of Wood Green and Edmonton as he was born and grew up there from 1925 and through the 2WW. He joined the Navy in 1944. He lived in Langham Road. Do you know that road, and do you know the name of the school nearest there that he might have gone to? Thank you.
@@birdsaloud7590 I know Langham Road it is off of Westbury Avenue. We lived in Cobham Road which is off of Lakefield Road which is off of the other side of Wesbury Avenue. The only schools I know are Noel Park School in Gladstone Avenue and the school in Lordship Lane.
Nice to see you back on RUclips, born in Edmonton, always feel connected when I go back there.
Great video! My grandparents moved out to Tottenham from Clerkenwell as it was out in the sticks in those days. How things change.
Enjoyed this video greatly, great to see Joolz out and about again.
My favourite ‘go to’ during lockdown london xxxxxxxx
It's not a Sunday without a new Joolz guides video.
The best video tours of London...
Just found your channel thanks to Tottenham Hotspur my footy team. Of course White Hart Lane on High road not in Tottenham itself itself but you know that. Seven Sisters train gets you to Lane.
Great stuff Joolz. Used to live just off Lordship Lane. Many a time walked through Bruce Castle Park on the way to a THFC match. Also worked at the Whitbread Brewery site in the early 70's during university/school holidays. Thanks for regenerating so many memories.
Royal Antwerp?
Thank you for doing another amazing video Julian. I enjoy them all, but this one is of particular interest as I drive my bus down Tottenham High Road. I thought Seven Sisters must have something to with the people of the area, but I never knew what the story was until now.
Truely one of your best videos Joolz. Thank you! :)
I got up this morning and no Joolz Guides today sad face, then while I was baking bread watching a different you tube video the notification of your video comes up. So with flour on my hands I hit the play button, and my Sunday is complete. Thanks for the great video.JDS in AZ usa
Stumbled upon this when it turned up in my feed, quality content! Cheers Joolz!
Man, these tours are awesome.... so much to take in... simply wonderful.. Cheers from Down Under... 🦘
About time for another of your great vlogs, I must say your sister is lovely, and such a musical talent
