A selection of dates on which snapshots of the site were taken, they appear by year the relevant dates are highlighted in blue click on the date and the sanapshot for the day will appear.

Just out of interest I did a quick approximation of how many pages of A4 would be needed to print off all the messages and it would be somewhere around 30,000.

our brother was a few years older. My name then was Phyl Scarbrow, and some of the others were my cousin Pat Scarbrow, and friends Marina Shoulder and Marianne Goldsmith. Sadly neither Pat nor Marina are still with us but I was in touch with Marianne a few years back.

lso remember catching a greater crested newt by the lake and taking it home. Sadly it escaped and probably perished in someones else's back garden. Before the M4, the route from Norwood Green across the fields was idyllic. My father was a member of the home guard and trained in the park. Fond memories.

Big families and all moved away.

nds, but the little steps were still there. What a lifesaver they were during those hard times. We then took a look at Dane Road and parked the car while we walked through the school alley to the back of Tudor Road school. We both felt quite emotional as we looked at the boys' playground which looked just the same apart from the shelter over the top of the benches which used to be there. Unfortunately, while I was walking along the pavement taking everything in, I caught my foot in a large pothole and went down with a bang. After resting on the curb we carried on to see Spikes Bridge road and the entrance to our dear old canal and Spikes Bridge where we had both spent such happy hours. Walked through the park and saw the Pavilion and the playground and the running track. It was lovely to see although a lot of trees had gone. Up to Lady Margaret road to have a look at the surgery where Dr Ginsborg used to be then on to have a look at our old Southall Grammar school and Southall Park. The last visit was to see Heston Church where we were married and then we were off home. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. My brother died in 2008 just before I joined this site in 2009 but the memories still remain.

urface for football etc. Judging by the layout it looks like the running track will not be re-instated The park holds a rather painful memory for me as when I was about 4 years old some of my older cousins took me over there and I ended up having my front teeth knocked out by the seat on one the swings when I ran into it.
The Broadway is a building site at the moment where they are re-laying the pavements and altering the road layout to make it more pedestrian friendly, at least that's the claim. At least the shops are going up-market as there is now a Poundland as well as a 99p Store.

we used to pick to make scent with was never very successful as my brothers used to say it stunk! The hours and hours we spent in that park though were invaluable. Sometimes in the playground, but mostly on the fields playing rounders, and any ball games when we could get hold of a ball. We were always racing though and I loved it because I nearly always won.The park keeper always kept an eye on us all as the boys did get up to some pretty awful things like flooding the park overnight when they dug a small trench from the canal and across the towpath into the park. Even they hadn't envisaged the amount of water that built up. Shame about the running track though. Still, our memories will still remain. It gave us somewhere to go and something to do, and it was all free!

hem carrying.etc.gt lads

I know the Lady Margaret is still there but I have not been in side since 1974.

ieves there was further potential. I would agree but this has still been a good life.

flats built.demolition

on Darwin Drive then moved to Farady road. My dad later lived in the seniors building before he passed away. My sister now lives in Lincolnshire so I have no family in Southall and have not been back there for a number of years. Sometimes it is better to remember how things were and the good times.

affic jobs.police crime etc.prisons delay court cases etc massive problems...then not need more houses so much.built on every blade of grass.tiny england

n Fleming Road - Lynne Kimmins who lived in Faraday Road was my friend in the same class as me in Dormers Wells. I lived in second parade, near to Redcroft Road. Seems Facebook page is mostly people who lived in the flats. Plan on Southall Board shows white rows of prefabs but no road names. Haldane Road must have been the road parallel to Redcroft Road and our prefab was in between the two. Electoral Rolls show who was living in each one.

hat family. When my dad and I moved to St Andrews Tower the Websters lived on the same floor, 2nd. I only have only kept in touch with Cathy Mogg who lived in Telford road, lost touch with everyone else. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me and anyone who knows Dave Coles from Allenby Road.

" I'm seeing him this Saturday so I'll ask him if he remembers.

hours there while my brothers swam or paddled in a river, often swinging on a large rope. I had to keep a very wary eye on them, especially my eldest brother as he was very daring! We were always tired out on the way home, stopping at the small streams cleaning ourselves up a bit.

. Great for roller skating - there used to be a slope by the side of the green, great fun.

eople remember king st east been religious centre long time now in same structure though..

t was he (& his sister) who lived in Park Ave but as someone has already said Roy did not live in Park Ave so I wonder which family Maureen belongs to who bowled at Southall & went to Southall Grammar. She was certainly in our bowling group which also included Graham West brother to Maureen & Mick West. It looks like this other Maureen's surname will remain a mystery.

e one guy on duty, but if something came up, which he needed help with, one of us would be floating around somewhere, mainly me in the bar. I did a spell at Golders Green as Assistant Chief, then came back to Southall as Chief Engineer. I replaced Ernie Randall who moved to Head Office.

Oh happy days.

roads there.for several factories.brent rd famous kearley tongs biscuitjam factory.

to pick up other components for quality testing. It was normally a job given to someone with learning difficulties. Depending on the department, I was constantly being instructed to either pull or push the trolley.

sly I saw things from a different level. Even the streetview looks unfamiliar to me but for some reason the open space is in the correct location (in my mind as I walk towards the factory).

I also remember waiting in the car with my Father and watching goods trains going across the bridge over the side road.

So, I think we have lift off, that is definitely the old site as I recall it.

Incidentally, the site occupied by Arrow Hart in Plymouth still shows the factory in Google Maps even though it has since been demolished.

If you look at the satellite image from this link
http://goo.gl/maps/Y6L6j you will see the factory inside the Thorbury Road boundary; if you then look at the streetview you will see the space as-is today, occupied by cement works, storage and NHS.

Going back to the 1964-1972 period at Arrows, do anybody remember the following families? The Campbells, the Littles, the Pearces, the Webbs and what about the Desboroughs? Any takers? I know them all.

d shelters behind the fence. I have been interested to see the 1920/30s aerial photographs taken before our house was built.

sulation purposes?). Between the railway line and the main Great Western Railway were allotments. There is a tunnel under the main line with used to have a small locked gate into the gasworks. It now gives access to the parking facility for Heathrow. Scotts Emulsion factory was further along the line towards London with a large advertising picture of a man with a large fish. It was a well known landmark for those travelling by train into London.
