IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Willow Walk, LONDON, N21 1NE

Holly Hill as seen from near the junction with Eversley Park Road. The houses on the right were constructed during, I think, the 1960s. I was told by a resident who had lived in the road since the late 1930s that there was a line of poplar trees, which were all taken down so that these houses could be built on what had been part of the garden of a house which is still there behind the gardens of the new houses. As number 2 Holly Hill was the first of the 1930s houses, these new dwellings had to have different numbers, which sometimes causes confusion with the mail.

Looking west down Holly Hill. The houses you can see were constructed in the 1930s.

The official promotional image of my parents' home when they bought the house as its first owners in 1933. As a young lad I took a similar photograph in 1958 Image and returned in 2021 Image to see how the house had changed since I last visited in 2004 when my mother died. I am unaware who actually took the image but it comes from my father's photo album which I inherited.

Looking up the other hill, the Houndsden Gutter passes under the road where the photographer was standing.

Looking down Eversley Park Road from the corner of Holly Hill. George V pillar box Image] can be seen on the left. We are looking towards the valley where the Houndsden Gutter goes under the road.

The onetime home of Alfredo Campoli, an eminent violinist of the 1950s. The grounds of the mansion were sold off to become a select housing development. See Image] for the house in 1958.

My home in 1958. A return was made in 2021. Image]

This George V pillar box is near the corner of Eversley Park Road and Holly Hill.

Very waterlogged following the heavy rain. This puddle is adjacent to the newly-built houses.
