s script acting superb

ed to take my two little sisters there, especially around Christmas time, and it was lovely with all the tinsel and the little bits and pieces you could buy. We all loved it. They always wanted to go into Rowses where there was a huge stuffed animal. Can't remember if it was a bear or not!
Lovely days.

ss Trent who was the Headmistress. I think there was a Miss Smith as well. She retired while I was there. Straight grey hair, and used to punch you in the ribs when you were sitting in class - and talking! I can still remember the toilets in the infants with the little wooden swing doors and the heavy drinking cup on a chain in the playground. What happy days despite the war.

ce, she said it ten times. In fact I got really fed up with it. However, not that it has made any great difference to my life, I have remembered it, as I expect lots of the others did. We all gave a few coppers for a collection when she retired, and I was elected to buy an artificial flower for her coat from the dress shop on the corner of Beechcroft Avenue (can't remember the name) Len knew it!

er and tasting sour in the summer ugh! The horrible squeak when the teacher was cleaning the chalk off the blackboard, and the little prayer we said every afternoon before we went home. Such happy days.

an old English Sheep Dog, and used to collect a lot of money for charity, using his dog. He used to catch the train at Langley Station every morning with all the rest of the crowd (including my husband) who all worked at EMI Hayes. I think they all used to get in the same carriage. I remember getting up very early in the morning to cook a good breakfast and make the sandwiches before he left!

e lifelong friends there and learned Commercial skills that set me on the road jobs in Europe and Africa. I left Southall in 1966. My mother, Renee Robinson, was an excellent dressmaker and ran a small business from our home in St. John's Road. She left Southall in 1972. My grandparents, Annie and William Goodall lived near the film studios in Gladstone Road and also had two sons call Fred and Leslie. Perhaps someone out there remembers them. My two brothers were David and Phillip Robinson and both went to Featherstone Road in the 50's. Pretty boring stuff, but you never know if a bell might ring out there somewhere. Regards to all from our home in Burgundy, France.

is bucket and shovel for the horse manure for his garden.

along. When I was a teenager I went to ballroom dancing classes in the hall at the side of the George and Dragon. The owner/teacher was a man called Eric, but can't remember his surname. I got my bronze, silver and gold medals for ballroom, but was never a 'natural' dancer - had to work at it, but loved it back then, but nothing like Strictly!! Oh the changes we've all seen in our lifetimes!

n't impressed, said I only had enough rags for one chick but perhaps it was the look on my face that persuaded him to let me have three chicks. My mother kept them in the understairs cupboard and although one died shortly afterwards, the other two grew and started to get brown feathers. Then another died and that left just the one who grew into a fine cockerel and lived in a run in the back garden. We had chicken for our Christmas dinner that year!

erels which were penned in the garden, and we also had one Rhode Island Red chicken called Mary. She was loved by all of us and used to come belting up the garden when we banged on her saucepan with the food in it. I remember praying for her to lay an egg one day when we were waiting to take it to my mum who was convalescing. She took her time!

remember you had to wait quite a while sometimes to get served. They had a little chair in the corner for the older customers to sit on. A wonderful little shop that everyone remembers.

e butchers then the Arcade. Len has already supplied this information on the site in the "Saxon road" thread.

tchen was run on the army lines too, loved it

was)and apples & custard, rhubard & custard. The only time we had a makeshift was on a Monday when mum was doing the washing, and we had bread and cheese. Never liked going home then because the kitchen was all horrible and steamed up. My brother mentioned in his autobiography that the smell of the canteen was awful, just like over used washing up water! He said he hated how some teachers would stand over you making sure you ate everything, mouthful by mouthful, and you were sure that the next one would make you vomit! As for the small bottles of milk - you're memory is better than mine, as I can't remember paying for it. I do remember it was worse in the summer, almost sour, and the teacher made you drink it all. I remember when some children were all going out through the door I would slip my half drunk milk back in the crate! Teachers in those days were definitely in charge.

hat day will remain with me for ever. We did see the front of Tudor road school, but the back entrance was the best for me. The playgrounds looked exactly the same -even the same windows. The only difference was that all the benches and the shelters overhead had gone where we all sat when it was raining in the morning break! We saw Grubhams, under new management, but the little steps were still there. The poor old Northcote looked very dilapidated, so unlike how it was in its heyday.
I was so pleased to see that all the trees in Northcote Avenue were still there. We also saw Heston Church where we were married, and Dr Ginsberg's surgery, and our beloved Municipal Sports Ground where we spent most of our childhood, not forgetting Spikes Bridge, where the wooden planks used to move when you walked on them, and the canal (now minus the reeds and the bullrushes that I remember). Fortunately, you have provided us with some wonderful photos of the Southall we remembered. Thank you.

wash the whole shop out because of the smell. David said they were a lovely little family, Dennis, Cecilia and George, and they treated him like a son. Dennis and Cecilia were both in their eighties, and the shop had been established by them at the turn of the century. Mrs Grubham was a typically independent Victorian old lady who loved to chat about politics and the state of the world to him. David said he particularly remembered her at Christmas when she used to get him on his own and press a £1 note into it, saying "Don't tell George". He said the lovely little shop wouldn't exist today with the rules and regulations, as Paraffin would be out for a start, and "Fluff" the cat would have also got the boot as she used to wander across and sleep on the counters. Lovely memories!

ghout the body. I don't know where the bomb fell, I suspect it was the one in Regina Rd, I'm not aware of ant other bombs falling close to Featherstone Rd., school.

I remember the air raid shelter built in the street, we had one in front of our house in Queens Rd. I don't think anyone ever used them though as the were cold damp and smelly.
We had a mattress under the dinning table when there was a raid on. I still recall the boom boom of the ack ack guns.

rchlights and barrage balloons and watching London burning from our backdoor after a raid. My father, a postman, coming home with news of Firestone's factory receiving a direct hit and blood running in the gutters, he was white with shock. The bomb that fell in the playground of Southall Park, thankfully during the night so no children around. It was some while before we could open doors due to the back draught. Two brick shelters in the roadway full of bunk beds but nobody ever used them as far as I know and they weren't as strong as the houses anyway. The butcher's window empty but he always had a tin of corned beef or some sausages in the cold store. My mother walking over to King Street to collect a 'layette' for my brother given out free to new mothers. A lad I knew whose father had come through the war being killed on his way home when the lorry he was in got blown up. The girl across the road 'going off with a Yank' who'd been divorced - shocking in those days. Our back garden with rabbit hutches all down one side and my mother used to breed them, kill, skin and gut them, selling the small one for 10s.0d and the larger ones for £1 until my father came back from the Army and the flower beds were restored. Street party to celebrate after the war ended. Fancy dress and my mother sent me as "Peace" joking that it was the nearest to peace she'd ever get from me - I think she was joking! One girl was sent as the New Year 1947 - should have been 1946. Our piano being pushed out into the street and someone sat playing while the grown-ups danced and the bonfire gradually died because there wasn't anything left to put on it and always the searchlights in the sky. Not many memories as I was only six years old when the war ended but those that I have are firmly in my mind.

fore long a huge fire was built in the middle of the road where Northcote Avenue joined Norman Avenue, and everything was thrown on that fire. All the boys got the wooden bunks out of the air-raid shelter in Norman Avenue close by, and on they went as did, I'm afraid, several people's trellis! I know we kept an eye on our wooden gate in the front garden. There were kids everywhere. What a wonderful night to remember! I also well remember the
ack-ack guns during the war as I was quite frightened of them, as it almost seemed as if they were outside out house. I don't know where they were, but they were very noisy and never ending.

got caught up in the junk that had been thrown in the canal.
