TOTTENHAM'S STREET PARTIES - V.E DAY 1945 AND QUEENS CORONATION 1953 |
Like many towns
and cities across the nation the residents of Tottenham celebrated in the streets for two
of the most memorable occasions in the 2oth Century. The end of hostilities in WW2 and the
Victory in Europe (V.E DAY) celebrations in 1945 followed in 1953 with the celebration to
commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Here are few photographs that capture these moments in Tottenham's history. Should you have any photographs from your streets then please do get in touch and let us have copies to add to the collection. |
