GarethJones says
The Warboys house was off Warboys Cresent in HIghams Park E4, between Larkshall Rd and Coolgardie Avenue. As a child I lived around the corner and can just about recall the wooden gates that guarded the property. The houses built in the 1930s on Larkshall Rd that backed on to the property had no windows on the upper storey to prevent the Warboys family being overlooked.
The estate was sold off and in the late 60s / early 70s and the site was developed to become the current Avril Way, Village Close and Greenwood Drive.
Tottenham Hotspur's Jimmy Neighbour lived in a house on Avril Way when it was first built, recalling a time when top flight footballers earned a relatively modest amount, compared to today.
