I grew up in Muswell Hill in the sixties and early seventies. I was born in '64 and lived in Connaught Gardens - the Kinks rented a house down the road, and my mum used to see the girls sleeping outside the front door. Later, my Dad went to live in Fortis Green, and co-incidentally his flats were almost oppsite Ray's white Georgian house. He used to hear live music coming from the house at night! What I would have given to have had a time machine!

[TINTIN299]

i love the history of muswell hill do you know the aveneu if so wat was it like

[jenzeppelin]

great footage!!! fell in love with this song the first time i heard it, Muswell was one of the first albums that threw me into the Kinks and I've never looked back since. I couldn't imagine a world without their music.

[helltopay1]

i believe ray and dave lived in the brown house opposite the clissold arms1:51 the red car is outside (i think)

[jenzeppelin]

I think you're right, I vaguely recall seeing it on Dave Emlen's Kinks site - it has a link to "Kinks locations" I believe.

[cryingonion2]

Did Ray Davies live on Fortis Green?

[Live762]

Yes, at #6 Denmark Terrace

[satguru]

That was a trip through 28 years of my life. Still travel it from time to time, thanks!

[KinkStarmaker]

I was in Muswell Hill making the Kinks tourist last year. Really poignant!!!

I think this song shows pretty close the neighborhood life style, as usual in Ray!

[geridg]

that "gentrification" you write that happened to Muswell has happened has in so many places all over the western world I think New York is a great example. Hell's Kitchen, Lower east side, Tribecka...they were all rough places in the sixties and seventies. Now...celebs and rich yuppies abound. It's because the wealth are coming back to cities for there culture and hipness. The people "without" are being pushed deeper into ghetto areas and rural areas. Money rules. God bless The Kinks

[wickedrosie]
