ped into Google "Photo of Slough High street 1950 Francis Frith", and there are 35 photos in the 1950's and 60's. There is one of Suters and Isaacs - I'd forgotten about them, and if I remember rightly there was a carpark behind Isaacs with an alleyway leading into the high street. Of course, when Queensmere shopping Centre was built in the 70's Chandos street disappeared, with all our memories!

Vale nervous diseases hospital our first house was in Carfax Rd.Hayes then Hortus Rd. Southall then Westbury and finally Laburnum we have lived here 35 years bought for £15000.

. The man's face fell as he said "I'm sorry, Sir, we don't take them in here, you need next door." My dad's face went crimson, and I felt really sorry for him. We all skulked out of that shop as if we were criminals. Over the years we all had a good laugh about it, as you did in Southall!

daily. Then there was the travelling greengrocer (Nobby Clark) who piled all his goods onto a Morris Countryman with the back down to hold the scales. Often, too, there would be gypsy ladies trying to sell 'lucky' heather. Occasionally an onion seller with strings of onions on the handlebars of his bike and on Sundays, the man selling winkles in the winter, Tony the ice cream man in the summer (before the days of vans with those awful chimes). The rag and bone man, the knife and scissor sharpener, the Corona man and if we were very lucky, we'd have a lump of ice cream put into a glass and lemonade poured over the top, a treat and best eaten with a spoon sitting on the back door step! Housewives didn't feel isolated in those days, always someone knocking at the door or a neighbour to chat to over the back fence as washing was hung out or collected in. Remember any of these kind of things?

week. Tony the icecream man used to come round ringing his bell, the coalmen with sacks on their heads and the poor old dustmen who had all those heavy dustbins to carry with the ashes from the fires.
The vinegar man came occasionally, and of course the baker and the milkman. I remember the boys in the street hanging on the back of the baker's cart to get a free ride, and the rest shouting "Whip behind guvnor". Also remember the rag & bone men. With our back gardens all having wire fences in Northcote Avenue, could always see our neighbours hanging out their washing etc. and having a chat with them, unlike today with our fences and gates shutting out everyone.

o, guess what, he said I'll lend it to you, and he did! My sister-in-law couldn't stop laughing at the time. That copper kettle, which was for the gas stove, lasted me years and years and I can still picture it in my mind.

ves and back and fronts, the company put them together.

the '10:30 Limited' when I was a boy, I wish I still had it.
My grandfather was an engine driver for LNER, he drove many of the main line trains, including Mallard. As a boy I would wait on Kings Cross Station for his train coming in. He would take me up on the footplate, a thrill for a young boy.

This summer I'll be in France and the UK and looking forward to taking the Eurostar from Paris to St Pancras.

he branch as far as the Great West Road.
From 1948-1951 I was a full time student at the Northern Poly. Travelled from Southall to Paddington, thence by underground. No cancellations in 3 years. My train usually terminated on Platform 15, adjacent to the the east bound Met line on platform 16. On cold days, I used to stay in the warm compartment until the met train came in.

r there, the type strapped to the rails and used to warn the driver during foggy days. We dropped a big rock on it to set it off, and the explosion was more than we expected, very frightening and foolish.

There are some very good photos of the Southall engine sheds on flickr. Just type in Southall and scroll through to them.

on't know.
Coming home it was always dark, during the blackout the blinds in the carriage were pulled down the lights dimmed and the station names removed so you had to know where you were to get off. The compartments were full of servicemen who always chatted to my Mum, many from overseas.

rther across the river, and it is a picture that I can still visualise after all those years. The place I loved visiting the most however, was York Minster. It is so beautiful, with its medieval stained glass windows. We went back there several times as there is so much to see inside. Walking down all the ancient alleyways, you almot felt you were back in the past.

yourself think-let alone sleep, for the quacking of the hoards of ducks!

seats enjoying the scene along the banks of the river. There was so much life there. It was quite comical to watch the various antics of the birds.
We also went to a Country Fair at Chatsworth House on a beautiful sunny day with large balloons overhead. The one drawback there was the horrendous queue for the toilets - those awful ones put up specially. The mention of Derbyshire always reminds me now of "Pride & Prejudice" with the famed Darcy emerging out of the lake, all dripping wet after his swim - OOoooh! Lyme Hall, which is technically in Cheshire, provided the exterior shots of "Pemberley" where Elizabeth & Darcy strolled through the 1,400 acre park, and Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire was used for the interior. Jane Austen wrote her novel in Bakewell, while staying in Derbyshire. Ask any lady who saw the film which bit they liked the best, and they all say "Darcy" coming out of the Lake! This was our wonderful actor Colin Firth again.

e a shop in Southall High Street next door to the Odeon cinema. I found an old cine film made by Derek Fallon, I believe it contains theactivities of the youth club members (playing chess, playing darts, dancing to music / group playing music - guitars & singing etc, drinking soft drinks!) I believe this could be around 1963-1964 I am not sure but I would be grateful if Chris could tell me what year, if she can remember! This film is in the process of being transferred to DVD - might take a while. Watch this post! << less

small wheels at the back to prevent it tipping over backwards, and when fully laden it was really heavy. The baker was happy for my brother to pull it on his own, but would take over when they came to steeper inclines. He finished at 4.30 pm and was paid 3/6d. They always had a cup of tea and something to eat at one of the workmen's cafes, and he said he felt really grown up to sit with all the workmen. He eventually earned enough to buy a fixed reel fishing spool! There was also a Price's bakers shop opposite Northcote Avenue in the Broadway.

ed I was 11 years old at the time and thought it wonderful, a baby sister. I was also adopted.

irl in a swimwear Macleans was on the corner

ith plants in Stanmore and Eastleigh which was taken over by Rank Hovis. In Lady Margaret Road and near the Beehive Pub were two branch's of an Hillingdon bakery.

tly walked out! Frank was not very pleased. It's something I've never forgotten.

huge ovens. Yvonne has already told us all that there was originally a huge advert on the top of the outside wall (as above) and it was a C.T.Crouch the baker. I remember smelling the bread, but I think Len actually remembers buying bread there.

sed to buy it by the pound, actually when I think about it now he wasn't very clean, always had a fag in his mouth ugh..........

Yes I do remember your friend Linda Crank and especially her sister as she walked like a ballet dancer and, I think, had her hair tied back in a tight poney tail. I admired her as I always wanted to be a dancer ever since Mum took me to classes at the Wolf public house in Norward Green when I was 4. Am I correct in thinking she joined the Ballet Rombert? Thanks again to you and the others who keep these memories alive.

off from this lad's driveway wobbling out of the gates, shot across the road and hit the only car in sight, both ended up on the pavement in a heap. I couldn't move for laughing, looked up to see his mother and sister at the window wiping tears of laughter from their faces but he was furious and embarrassed. We did have a few jaunts out later on but it wasn't the success it should have been because I found everything so funny and he was so serious. He sold the tandem later and very generously gave me half of the proceeds. Happy days!

n. He later went self-employed undertaking building work, decorating, landscaping, antique restoration, and then serious wood-engraving. Ironically, he was a member of the Society of Wood Engravers and they put a picture of his engraving, "Fading Heritage" on their 71st Annual Exhibition Invitation, but he was too ill to attend. This is still on Google, and if you tap in "David Hackman Fading Heritage" and then "The Society of Wood Engravers Gallery" his engraving is still there, and you can see a really big picture of it if you click on it. He was a very gifted brother. We all spent our childhood at Northcote Avenue, Southall, then moved to North Hyde Lane.

me bread and cheese! Making a garland of May from the trees on the side of the canal and walking up to see the old ladies at their gates of their cottages.Snatches of lovely memories, and the neighbours telling my mother that I was walking outside the upstairs window on the ledge, and my brother Bob falling in the canal. George V had his 25th Jubilee while we were there and everyone celebrated in the Hambrough. I remember the huge cake - but I didn't get any of it as I had sneaked up there to have a look!
