We left Langley in 1972. It's a small world!

d Research Laboratories were have all gone.

we noticed the village pond had gone, i wonder what happened to the ducks!!Is the Ladybird Factoy still there.

, we paused on the bridge and looked across to the village. It was lovely. Pasolds on the left with the huge Ladybird trademark on the front, large houses with hollyhocks in the front garden, with a little pond with ducks on, and a thatched cottage on the other side. The village itself, with a small church which laid back from the shops, then the Red Lion (I think) with the Crown on the opposite side where they had sawdust on the floor in one bar, with quaint little cottages alongside where the old couples used to sit at their gates and chat to you on the other side of the road. Rhymes the bakers where the lovely fresh bread was baked and their famous Lardie cakes, and all the latest gossip of the village went on. They were wonderful days. I could go on. I'm afraid I didn't know Ruth Rose though, although I knew most of the people in Raymond road.

Station Jean on a Friday when all the mums with their babies in prams squeezed into the Guard's Van? Most of us ended up in the Waitrose Supermarket in Slough. There was a place where we all left our prams, and then took the children into the store to get the shopping. My pram had three sections in the bottom, and all the goods went underneath. Those were the days. Plenty of energy then! Had to wait a long time before we got a car.

LLoyds bank on the corner.

odist church next door further along used to be the
Co-op with a butchers at the side. A hairdressers on the corner of Elmhurst road and Carrods the Greengrocers the other side. My two daughters both went to the Marish school. What memories. While we lived there, a neighbour and myself got up a coach trip to Brighton and another one to Southend of all the ladies in the road, while our husbands, bless them, looked after all the kids. They were wonderful outings, and one of our neighbours videod all the men, some with toddlers in arms waving us all off. That was in the early sixties. Very happy days.

r Rd. infants together from the age of five in 1931 he went in to the Scots Guards and I went in the Navy my other friend Alan Bowden was sunk on HMS Penelope he lived at No 8 West ave.

r years, and why not SHE WAS BORN IN SOUTHALL IN QUEENS ROAD. I told her I was born in Queen Charlotte's hospital and she said so was she! She said she was 86 and had four brothers, and she was the last one - (born later when her mother was 47). I started telling her about our Site, and how lots of the places had been closed down, etc. I then said the old Palace has been boarded up, and she then said ...wait for it ... my young brother put the dragons on top of that Palace. She said her mother had been walking past the Palace with a neighbour, and when they looked up, the neighbour said, Oooh that's your Ernie up there, and her mother ran all the way home! Her brother was called ERNIE TAYLOR. I couldn't believe it. We talked about the Gasworks, and the Straight, and she knew everything about Southall. Her father worked in the butchers opposite the Dominion. I can't remember the name. Bearing in mind this lady was 86, and she said her brother put the dragons up before she was born! She offered to give me her telephone number as she said she could tell me anything I wanted to know about Southall, but I couldn't do that. I did however, get her to write Southall Knowhere down so that she could perhaps have a look at our Site, or get her family to look at it. I told her I would write up what she told me. What a lovely morning and what a lovely lady!

must be round about somewhere...lovely day you have had..wonderful...computers makes small world..mass communication..so easy...all best to you both

d, where I worked. So, up Carlyle Avenue (leaving Northcote Avenue behind) up Burns Road to North Road, past where the "Scarlet Fever" hospital was (which is signposted now as a Nursing Home) to North Road Parade. I only recognised it from our photoboard. Then down Allenby Road to the corner of Somerset Road (where I used to wait for a second bus sometimes). Across the road to Mornington road (a very long road) turning right at the end to the Ruislip Road. I followed this road along to Greenford road, finally coming to Cowgate road where the "Cow & Gate" Milk Depot, Greenford used to be. It was such an emotional feeling to see the Garage, which was next to my firm, still there, but now much larger taking up the space where we used to work, and the Western Avenue ahead (which used to be a roundabout). I couldn't believe it when I noticed, after going back and forwards with the arrows, that one of the buildings bordering on to Cowgate road still had the whirly staircase at the side up to where the new Manager of the Yard had his office. This was 64 years ago! It brought it all back. He had just come back from the Army in quite a high position, and when I was summoned up there to see him, he told me that I was not to go into the Yard any more (where all the life was - the horses & the stables, the milkmen, the Servery and dear old Mr Collis with his leather apron on which always smelt of sour milk, who used to mother me. Little did he know that I had already decided to leave, and after his little lecture it reinforced it. So thank you for the Photoboard, Yvonne, and whoever put the photos on. That trip made my day after 64 years.
