“There were large white tents and flags, a band playing matial airs, crowds of people, carriages and horses.

Everyone in the village had worked their hardest, and all the stalls were full of a wonderful collection of goods of all sorts.

The years numbered three times seven before there was another Bazaar in Winchmore Hill, so it is little wonder that folks spoke of “The year of the Fancy Fair’.

Henrietta Cresswell – Winchmore Hill: Memories of a Lost Village  1912

This is the grand finale to the N21 Festival.

The original Fancy Fair was held in Grovelands Park and was used to raise money to build the improved St Paul’s school next to the church. This replaced the small clapper board school house, still seen on Church Hill.

The Fancy Fair of 2012 will see Winchmore Hill Green pedestrianized, and a great celebration will take place to bring people together, as we try to re-create a Fair that will be long remembered in the memories of Winchmore Hill residents.

The day will start at 10 O'clock with a Grand opening, with the Mayor of Enfield, David Burrowes MP and our very own 98 and 100-year-old residents.

N21 Festival - Jazz at The Waterhouse
Fathers Day Jazz in the Waterhouse Hall, Compton Road

Home Care Preferred is pleased to sponsor what promises to be a great night of music as part of The N21 Festival on Sunday 17th June at The Waterhouse Hall in Winchmore Hill.

The Band

This is a rare chance to see Tony O’ Malley & his band.

Tony O’Malley is unquestionably one of the most charismatic vocalists working in the UK. A featured performer since the late 60’s, his cv is vast and includes stints with the iconic band “10CC” and his own seminal Jazz/Funk band “Kokomo”.

His brand of jazz-tinged contemporary soul and blues is really stunning, with his fabulous, smoky, velvety growl of a voice delivering original material and some covers in his inimitable style. With 7 CDs to his name, including one recorded live at Ronnie Scott’s plus a Jazz Standards album, Tony has established himself as one of the most original and powerful performers on the scene today.

An established artist throughout Europe Tony’s fan base extends from the likes of Belgium and Holland to Georgia in the East and beyond. Not surprisingly his regular band features some of the finest “Groove” musicians around including guitarists Neil Hubbard (Kokomo) and Adam Phillips (Hamish Stuart, Tina Turner) and drummer Ash Soan (Will Young, Robbie Williams).

If you like contemporary R&B vocals with a touch of Jazz in the Blues Brothers style, then this is definitely for you.

“..the velvet gravel throated O’Malley is one of the UK’s most undersung vocal performers...the songs drenched in the deep soulful spirit that characterises everything he touches…one of the UK’s hottest properties” Jazzwise magazine

N21 Festival Historical Exhibition
Memories of a Lost Village

The N21 Festival Historical Exhibition sponsored by The Winchmore Hill Residents Association will take place in The Friends Meeting House, 59 Church Hill, Winchmore Hill, London N21.

The Exhibition is Free and will be open from 12 until 6pm on Monday 18th June and from 10 until 6pm from Tuesday 17th June until Saturday 23rd June 2012, with an extended hours evening on Wednesday 20th June until 8.00 pm.

Ever wondered what Winchmore Hill was like when it was truly a village?  You have the opportunity to find out during the week commencing June 18th 2012 when there will be an exhibition of photographs dating from the early years of the 20th century. 

This exhibition is one of the highlights of the N21 Festival which is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the publication of the book “Memories of a Lost Village” by Henrietta Cresswell who was born in Winchmore Hill and lived there throughout the second half of the 19th century. 

To produce this exhibition a small sub-committee of volunteers was formed to search out as many photos of the period as possible.  Libraries were visited, archives searched and local historian consulted, resulting in an unprecedented number of fascinating images.  There followed several meetings to decide which ones to use.  Some were wonderfully interesting but not of sufficient quality to be scanned and reproduced to a size suitable for exhibiting. 

Having made the selection, the next question was: in what order should we arrange them?  Then one of the committee members came up with the idea of matching each photo with a quotation from Henrietta’s book, working through in chronological order.  These quotations then formed the captions for each photo.  So, after a good deal of work we had our exhibition.

You will find it at The Friends’ Meeting House, 59 Church Hill, Winchmore Hill, London, N21. during the week of 18th to 23rd June where you’ll be greeted by a life-sized image of Henrietta herself and you can browse to the accompaniment of readings from her book.

Admission is free and refreshments will be available.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity of seeing what your Winchmore Hill looked like 100 years ago.
