Re: Happy Birthday, MaryB!
Thank you everyone. My birthday always nearly coincided with the return to school - in 1964 new girls arrived on 19 August (Carolynn's birthday I think) and sometimes we actually went back on my birthday. This all seemed quite unfair as up until then the only good thing about an August birthday, when everyone was on holiday and you couldn't have a party, was that you were sure never to be in school.... ho hum.
Yesterday evening I went with friends to see their son in a downstairs pub theatre near Liverpool Street - it must be the first time I've been round there for about 30 years. I stood waiting for them and gazed at the departure boards - the Hertford East train still stops at all the same places. Outside what I remember as a wasteland of boarded up buildings is now all cafes and restaurants and shiny buildings with atria.. not recognisable at all. But then, it was 40+ years ago....
Does anyone know if the arches are still there?

Re: Happy Birthday, MaryB!
Sorry Mary missed this yesterday, hope it was a good day. I KNOW just what you mean about August birthdays, I had two at school as the four term year came in when I started Upper VI. One of my son's also has an August birthday, his brother and father don't understand at all!

Shiny buildings with atria! How utterly amazing! I can hardly believe it!MaryB wrote:Outside what I remember as a wasteland of boarded up buildings is now all cafes and restaurants and shiny buildings with atria.. not recognisable at all. But then, it was 40+ years ago....

Maybe, next trip to London I'll get one of those Travelcards and make a pilgrimage.
We could have a lovely cup of non-station-buffet coffee, Mary!

Re: Happy Birthday, MaryB!
Sorry I missed it Mary, but glad to hear it was a good one.
Liverpool Street station had a makeover some years ago and is completely unrecognisable now. It's very posh. I wasn't very familiar with it as my parents always delivered and collected me by car, and by the time we were old enough to go to London unsupervised from school for day trips, we tended to walk across town to Hertford North. This was much cheaper and terminated at King's Cross, much more central and convenient than out-of-the-way Liverpool Street. However, I did see it once or twice, and was quite stunned when I first saw the transformation.
