Spooky small world. Goodness I remember Mustoe Bistro. I lived at number 87 I think which I shared with some others - it was a flat above the betting shop next door to the next pub along! There was quite a divide in the road then if I remember.

It would be about 1976 when I moved there and I then subsequently moved to a bedsit round the corner which I think I found through Shirley ??? (who was a dancer on the White Heather club and Jimmy McGregor's ex-wife) who I used to know quite well - I think Sandy introduced me. You might have known her to, it was quite a small community around there and unlike Hampstead few people tended to come in from outside unless they were visiting friends.

Didn't know of the Howff.
