Forum topic: Well done and thank you Basil

Thanks for those kind words, Sue. But let's not forget the work that Sue herself has been doing this year trudging along "every street in Palmers Green" on the lookout for built heritage that merits local listing. On her own website, Palmers Green Jewel in the North, she's been writing articles about about the history of the interesting places that she's found. I recommend subscribing to Sue's website so that you don't miss any episodes.

She's now reached episode 10 - "Two Elderly Folk from Mile End" , about the statues in Skinners Court. By a strange coincidence, when I lived at Mile End Gate in the early 1970s I was more or less exactly as far away from the original Skinners Almshouses as I am now from the site of the replacement almshouses in Palmers Green.

The website does require a fair amount of work. I mainly do it in the hope that by publicising the many concerts, plays and other events in the area more people will go along to them. As an amateur actor myself, and having a mother who puts on concerts, I know how much time and effort is spent in preparation and how rewarding it is to get a large audience. I'm sure that there are many events that are slipping through the net, so if readers know of any, please email me at .

Finally, thanks to everyone who has contributed to the forums. Not all online forums are conducted in such a civilised way as these are!
