Searching For Mint Imperials

This trip didn’t start out as the title, but I do find those little tubes of Bassetts Mint Imperials difficult to find these days.  Perhaps, they are a casualty of the takeover of Cadburys by Kraft.

I had gone to Stoke Newington to deliver some pictures for framing to A & B Frames and as it was raining with a certain ferocity, I decided that to go somewhere for lunch was not the best idea.  So I decided to return home to cook some scrambled eggs to eat with some left over new potatoes and some smoked salmon. But the rain meant it would be better to go north to Seven Sisters as this avoided the walk to a stop for a 76.

In the end I decided to go to Blackhorse Road station, by taking a bus to South Tottenham station and then the Gospel Oak and Barking line of the Overground, as I wanted to see if you could see the Markfield Museum from the train. I made another change of mind at Blackhorse Road and instead of taking the Victoria Line home, I reversed direction and went to Harringay Green Lanes station to get a bus home.

Here are some of the pictures I took.

But I was able to buy some Mint Imperials in the kiosk at Blackhorse Road.

Note the two staircases at South Tottenham and Blackhorse Road.  They’re not good, but at least they are better than those on the Lea Valley lines.
