'Xmax' usually responds well to treatment with a topical steroid cream.
I feel some affinity with Turkey Street, having walked along it several times on the London Loop... and used the station, as it is the end of one of the stages.
What a bizarre find with the river along side the housing... thanks for the insight.
Some true DG literary gems in the text today :)

Pink blossom = viburnum.
If there were snowdrops, they're not the white items in the picture...

The white flowers look to me (no expert) like a form of the "naked lady"

I can't read the label - perhaps you can on the original, DG.
The snowdrops look like autumn crocus colchicum.

Also the photos take ages to load on your rss feed recently. Are you posting bigger files? Or got a new camera?

colchicum autumnale 'Alba', well spotted :)
Used to drink in The Turkey a few years ago however I believe it was converted into two three bed flats (upstairs) and two two bed flats (downstairs). First choice off licence was the original ticket office for a Forty Hill Station (c.1919?) There used to be another pub called The Plough on the corner of Elsinge Road that was listed but was still demolished for the flats called Harley Court and the road named Cracknell Court
Happy Christmas DG! I have learnt from the two street signs that Turkey Street lies in two postal districts. Did you happen to notice the boundary betwee the two?

Where does Enfield Wash stop and Freezywater start? My son lives in Gilbert Street (on the other side of the brook in your Turkey Street sign photo). He always says that's in Freezywater.

Same here, the name of the station (and street) always puts a smile on my face even if the section through Enfield is one of the duller sections of the LOOP
@MOTB Freezywater starts north of Ordnance Road and Unity Road and extends to the Holmesdale Tunnel at the northern end of Enfield.
This post made me feel quite nostalgic, thanks DG. The name "Freezywater" caused no end of amusement when I was a child growing up in Enfield.
