I've just spoken to my sister
Jennifer and she doesn't remember this lady called Mavoureen Owen, or
going to school with her. Jennifer was at Dormers Wells from 1950 -
1952, and had to leave when we moved from Northcote Avenue. Jennifer did
excel at all sports at Dormers Wells, but didn't play tennis or go to
Southall Park. She was due to start tennis lessons the term after she
left. There were such a
difference in ages between the five of us, that we were rarely all out
together. Jennifer is 8 years younger than me. Can't ask my two brothers

I thought of another place my
Mother used and it was the hairdressers the name was Cluers, in the
High St, they used to perm one's hair with these iron looking things
attached to your hair and they weighed a ton,they would prop your head
with pillars very often they would burn too.
- Re: general.southall
by Phyl Hutnell (Member 10234816) on 17-Feb-2011
My Mum went to Cluers too. I seem
to recall that Mr Cluer was the trained hairdressed and Mrs C used to
help him - not always very successfully. I used to sit with Mum whilst
she had her hair permed, wired up to the machine.

Your mention of the fish and chip
shop at the top of Delamere road triggered off some memories for me
Yvonne. Although I didn't ever go in there, every Friday night when my
husband and I were courting, we would walk from Northcote Avenue across
Spikes Bridge to my sister and brother-in-law's in Burns Avenue. Later
on in the evening the men would go to the fish shop and come home with
bags of chips for
everyone. I can almost smell them now! They were placed in the warming
oven over the fire. One night when we had all been laughing so much,
they all burnt to a crisp, so no chips that night. Lovely memories
though. ... more >>

I must have been coming up for five and my brother three and a half.
We lived in Bankside at that time. Can also remember all the wheat
sheaves stacked in the land further along the road. I used to draw
pictures of them at school. When we went for a walk in the evening we used to see the red glow of fires as well. Not sure what that was. ... more >>

Being so young, I can't even
remember what kind of drink we had in those lovely gardens. Zeta was
talking about 1945, and I can only remember drinking Tizer then (which
wasn't very often). When I mentioned fires Yvonne, it was more of a red
glow - several of them. It's strange how things like that stay in your
mind. It must have been in 1936, just before my younger brother was born
in the Ocober.

Talking about the old
uninhabited cottage, reminds me of a derelict house. Walking towards the
police station, on the right just past Amsdens Newsagents, there was a
pathway leading to a large derelict house-we believed this to be
haunted.This was in the mid 1930's -ir was later demolished.

Rose Emily Lizzy Glassock of Southall Cranleigh Gardens

by Ricky Singh (Member 10242207) on 26-Jan-2011

Hello all, hope everyone has been well. My Dear neighbour Rose
Glassock passed away 7 years ago at the age of 95. I was just wondering
if anyone knew her or her late husband Reg. Before she was married she
lived at No 14 the Cresent (by the straights). She was a lovely lady
and it was nice of her to leave a thank you letter (for me and my
brother) to be read at her funeral by the priest. Rose
was born in June 1909 in the house on West End Road next door to the
Beaconsfield Arms Pub - now demolished. I was given the actual small
tin tub that Rose's Mother used to bathe her in when Rose was a baby, I
have kept it as a memorial to Rose. What a lovely lady she was ! ... more >>

If I remember rightly, it was
Charlie Chambers who used to sell fruit in the alleyway by the side of
Woolies. I think Les Ive took over afterwards selling flowers. The Ive
family used to live opposite us in Northcote Avenue, and sold fruit and
veg from a cart pulled by their horse which toured Southall.

Janice, thank you so much for
putting this on the board. Both you and I will remember Arthur and Molly
Russell very well indeed, Molly being a contemporary of ours at North
Road School, where Arthur taught. I remember being a member of the
AmDram club that Arthur ran after we left North Road, and the great days
out we had together as well as putting on shows. Some members of the
club, as well as Molly,
were Alan Tuffs, Betty Rosoff, Sadie Hunt, and others whose names escape
me, but I'm sure someone will remember them. I'm so glad to know that
Arthur and Molly had a good life and stayed together all these years and
had a family. ... more >>

Have just been looking at photo
of King George V1 on Southallboard 27 when he was the Duke of York with
their baby Princess Elizabeth. I have recently seen "The King's Speech",
and it is an amazing film, which is actually true. Although I remember
King George V1, knowing that he suffered from a very bad stutter, I
didn't realise that he had to have his Australian Speech Therapist
Lionel Logue with him on
every occasion that he made a speech to the country. His therapist was
able to help the King control his stutter by several different means.
(Won't say what, as it will spol it for those who have yet to see it).
It just made me so proud of him that he carried out his duty to this
country despite his severe impediment. ... more >>

- Re: WW2
by Pauline Sykes (Member 10235828) on 23-Jan-2011
What a shame the Pavilion has
gone. That used to be the Cricket Pavilion, not that we ever used to go
in there. At least I last saw it when it looked at its best from the
outside in 2000. It had been coated with anti graffiti paint, and really
looked good. The bowling green had already gone, but I can still see it
now in my mind's eye. It was raised and you could just about see all
the tops of the elderly
ladies and gentlemen with their uniforms on playing bowls. They all wore
the same colours - I believe it was green and cream. The ladies wore
skirts and they all wore hats. We all thought they looked posh! ... more >>
