Here's a fascinating bit of trivia sent to me by cousin Sue. If like Sue and I you grew up in Pemberton Gardens you would remember Gert Abbott. Gert was the sister-in-law of Fred Abbott (husband of Florence Bayliss and Sue's Grandad). Geret was a familiar figure to us kids, particularly noticable because of her uniform - she was a warden at Holloway Women's prison. One of Gert's sons was a playmate of mine and another became a workmate in later years. I never knew her daughter, Rita, very well as she was older than me but Rita has been in the news recently as her and her husband refused to pay the levy imposed on Londoners to help pay for the Olympics. Sadly, they lost their case and it has cost them a lot more than the original charge. If you'd like to read more click HERE,
