Godbold Close

Godbold Close: Mr Godbold, always known as “Frank”, was a jobbing builder who operated from 6 Ashdale Road and was always prepared to tackle any task within the trade. He was a brilliant bricklayer, good at carpenrty, plumbing and decorating. He was one ne of the real old timers. He would obtain most of his business at either The Bell or Edmonton Road Social Club with occasional visits to the Social club in Deben Avenue. Many mornings after his night out he would be seen walking back to one of the haunts to retrieve his bicycle so that works could proceed complete with handcart.
