I am delighted to see Clissold Park on the internet,I found it through a link on This is London.

I am writing this email because I used to live opposite Clissold Park in No 247 Church St.I am 61yrs old and left London in 1952 to live in Mid-wales. I live near Llandrindod Wells, Powys. I can still remember quite a lot of the area. There was a canal in Clissold Park running parallel to Church St where we used to catch leeches.

I don't suppose this email will interest many, but I would like to find a friend I had who lived in No 10 Millington House (if that is still the name) The large block of flats on the west side of 247.

His name is Micky Flindel ( the spelling might be wrong) My tel no is 01597 851987. I trust sombody can help. There is a lot more going on in Clissold Park now than when I lived there!! I know Londoners don't venture out of London a lot but if anyone wants to see beautiful Wales, Llandrindod Wells is a good place to start. Thanks to all. eddieward2@yahoo.co.uk
