the road, and it was always noisy, especially in the summer. There was always someone singing, plenty of laughter amidst the clinking of glasses, and often someone leaving the premises a but unsteady on their feet! Charlie Howe was always there at the weekend selling his cockles and winkles, etc. outside. It was a place for the workers to go for a pint (or two) after a hard day's work, meeting up with friends, especially at the weekend. My dad was often up there on a Sunday morning until the pub closed around dinnertime. I know we had to wait until he got in before we had the dinner together.I suppose being a listed building it can't be demolished?

ller. She had several children of her own and was a member of St John's Ambulance and always looked very smart in her uniform. As we were on an estate, there was very little traffic to contend with, and only one neighbour had a car and he was the local bookie! There were two costermonger carts of Percy Rose and the Ive boys, but they weren't working in the evenings when most of our activity took place, and they had horse & carts anyway. I can't remember ever being told to "clear off". With the heavy traffic around nowadays, it would be quite different, and with the advent of television and computers now, hopscotch wouldn't be as popular. Hopscotch was "free" and thank god for it. As for the chalk, it wasn't a problem then, but things change!

e Maypole name.

Gerrards, I believe, took over Meyers the greengrocers, I know that the Meyers shop in King Street at the top of Havelock Road became a Gerrards.

Depending on how local you want your chains then Hills the newsagents had two shops (one in Western Road and one in Regina Road), Mullengers the fishmongers had three I believe and Lodges the toy shop had two (one in King Street and one in the Arcade in the Broadway (actually two in the arcade, but one was just used for storage)).

of Hammond Rd. and of course Cogswells for seeds, hay and straw. gardening etc in King St.

s. I didn't understand all of it, but it was quite interesting. By the way, where's the other Southall site?

Dinky Toys and Meccano Parts. You could buy individual parts such as motors or cog wheels. I have forgotten the name of the drapers shop on the corner of King Street and Western Road but I remember the overhead cable cash system. My father would never use Mullenger's fish shop in Western Road. He had been upset by some remark made by the owner during war rationing. Next to Mulleger was Hills Newsagent where I worked a a paper delivery boy for awhile. By moving our own paper account from Grossman's by the Scotsman Pub in Scotts Road I got a small bonus. The local Co-op was across the road from the Scotsman. Opposite St John's church in Church Avenue was a crumpet maker whose shop I visited with my father. On Sundays a man would walk our street with a tray of crumpets and a bell. Fowlers bakery in Western road had horse drawn delivery carts and a stable behind their shops. My father would sometimes arrive back from work with an instruction for me to take the barrow and shovel to a nearby pile of "manure" that he had seen on his way home.This was usually by courtesy of the baker's, milkman's or rag and bone man's horse. Was Moss the camera shop in the Uxbridge Road part of a chain? It is great to read other people's memories here.

stated was the largest furniture store in Southall.

orths, probably next to the Bank.

h of Southall though, as I want to keep my own memories!

anopy on, and the 607 trolley bus and the Green Line bus, and the puddles on the floor - amazing. The Greenford broadway one in 1938 showing all the shops. I remember this view as I was working in Greenford aged 14, just before the Western Avenue, and used to walk there during our lunchtime (which was an hour and a half). The photo on Southallboard 50 on page 11 is also now one I will keep which takes in the view from the edge of Lady Margaret road of all the shops etc. A really superb photo. I expect everyone has their own favourites of the places they knew all those years ago.

t I could see of Southall Park was there, but all the railings had gone and a different type of fence was there with small trees which went all along the edge of the park. Went as far as the Iron Bridge and saw how the traffic system had changed, which we knew already. Got as far as the high brick wall which once surrounded St Bernard's and decided I had seen enough. This was a different Southall now, and I won't be returning again. I'm afraid all the ghosts of the past still existed for me, and I'm happy to leave them all there, and keep the memories I cherish of our beloved Southall we all knew.

We also loved to spend other Sundays walking over the Links to Hanwell Fields to fish for tiddlers and minnows - or riding a couple of buses to Kew Gardens or, very occasionally, Hampton Court.

n terrible times. One of my father's siblings died aged only three with TB and Meningites who I didn't know about until the 1911 Census gave up the secret. I've also found that very sick babies were baptised/christened (and sometimes not even given a name) because they weren't expected to live.

My grandmother often had to ask for Parish Relief and was once told she couldn't have any money because "You have a chair haven't you? Well sell it." When my grandfather was found unconscious and taken to Hammersmith Hospital, grandmother had to borrow 2d (tuppence) to get from South Ealing to Hammersmith to identify him but this only took her one way. She walked back to South Ealing whilst heavily pregnant, gave birth six weeks later by which time she was a widow.

The Good Old Days - don't you believe it!

, although had a very good marriage. Another two didn't get married. One was badly burnt as a child when her nightie caught fire, and the other one joined the 1914-18 army. I often wondered if they were put off getting married after the struggle in their younger lives. I always regret that I didn't live closer to my grandmother as she lived in Kensington, and in those days didn't get to see her very often. We were all so busy living our own lives with my mother being ill a lot of the time with TB and being split up sometimes. I expect there were a lot of Southall people having a lot worse times during the war.

. The aunt who joined the Army became an officer, and I remember my father telling me that his sister was visiting the trenches in France and he had to salute her when she reached their trench. I hadn't realised that conscription was raised until 1920 to enable them to deal with continuing trouble spots in the Empire, etc

uge bonfire was started in the middle of where Norman Avenue joined Norhcote Avenue. Everything was being thrown on to it. There was an Air-raid shelter in Norman Avenue, and all the bunk beds were pulled out and thrown on to the fire. People's trellis was ripped down, and on that went as well. In fact, anything that would burn was added to the inferno. We kept out eyes on our wooden gate in the front garden! Everybody seemed to be running about. The fire was still burning when we hsd to eventually come in, and the next day there was a massive hole in the tarmac. I understood later that the same thing happened in several roads. It was a wonderful night. One that I will never forget, and we all went to bed so happy after all those long years of war.

ek mr oates librarian there...........photos in local history books he has...

osite us. Mrs Ive used to sell her homemade toffee apples to all the kids. My sister remembers buying eating apples from her before she went to school, and she was very generous. Denbigh was a sweet shop run by a lovely Welsh couple, and was further down Northcote Avenue after you left Grubhams on the corner.

d the other was around Christmas time, which was the sight of most of my aunts' sitting round a tin bath in the kitchen plucking chickens from the run in the back garden (the tin bath was to collect the feathers in). My Uncle John still lives down Northcote he will be 90 later this year.

ed up unexpectedly. If I've got it right, I believe her mum and dad lived near Bankside at one time, and my mum and dad stayed some time with them and a crowd of people, at either Easter or Christmas. I do remember we all slept over with other children in a big bed, and I was sick because I had stuffed so much. We lived in Bankside at that time, and there was me, Bob and David then. Jennifer and Kathleen were both born while we were at Northcote Avenue. John would probably remember my name then as Hackman. I remember when the Ive boys were getting their horse ready for a show, and how they polished the brasses up and the horse had ribbons on. That was a long time ago. I also remember your Gran's aunt Mrs Jones, who lived two doors away from us. Violet used to sleep over with me and Bob when my dad was on night work at the AEC, and my mum was away with TB. A lot of water has gone under the bridge. Bob and David have both died, and there's just us three girls left now.

John still lives in Northcote Ave today.I have fond memories of visiting my nans house, where there was always a spare dinner in oven and a tin full of cakes.My mum was reading the posts with me and remembered lots of things mentioned as she use to live in Cherry Ave, her maiden name was Thompson.

Eileen married Cyril Ive, Cyril was born in 1933.

till get to the canal from there if we wanted to. All the kids used to swim in the canal (or the cut) as we called it, or paddle in it. It wasn't very clean though, and dead dogs were often floating in it!

"'Elf 'n' safety" regulations. e.g., kids organising a ball game without helmets? In the street where they might get run over or abducted by a nutter? No this country is a foreign land to me now. Kids today will have never heard of 'rounders'

e games are lost to our G/Children.

. I remember some very rough games that could become an excuse for extremely unpleasant bullying. On the other hand todays kids are in need of more physical excitement and challenges. As a boy I wandered the locality with friends and climbed and played in a manner that would now be condemned as antisocial. Perhaps one step towards a solution to some youth inactivity would be for more parents and others to be involved with the youngsters in physical leisure activities. I would say that I have terrific admiration for many of todays youth and for the manner in which they cope with the difficult world created for them by my generation.

snd we had to walk. It was a challenge. We used to walk to the Iron bridge from Northcote Avenue, then hop on a bus from Hanwell Garage to the clock at Hanwell. We then crossed over the road to Boston Manor road and tried to run as far as we could before a bus came, and got on a bus for the last part of the journey to Kew. We then had to be careful that we'd got enough money left to get a part of the way home. We used to do the same if we wanted to go to Ealing Commom fair. Children don't have so much freedon as we had in our days, and there are so many restrictions. Can't play conkerd for a start! We were exceptionally lucky to have the Municipal Sports ground right on our doorsteps as we spent a great part of our childhood in there, and got up to all sorts of things. Some schools have now sold off their playing fields and some parks are not aa safe as they used to be.

I loved Spanish Wood but it had adverse effects if you ate too much! I didn't like the dried bean, which was very hard and bitter, but can't remember what it was called. There was a kind of chewing gum, individually wrapped like a toffee, which looked waxy and had no taste at all. The day that Black Jacks and Fruit Salad came into the shops (four for a penny) was a great delight.

It is only recently that I learned of the role of the original barracks in protecting the gunpowder stores by a dock off the canal. Further up the lane we would pick pussy willow and explore the old Heston Aerodrome which still had banks of the old searchlights stored there. In the field opposite was the remains of a mounted anti aircraft gun.

I wasn't always allowed to hang out with them only when Mum made him take me with him. We would play in the fields and on the mounds during the day and evenings would be cricket and tin can Tommy on the green outside the houses in Wentworth Road. My friends were Sandra Hedley,Carole Howse and Linda Harvey we weren't allowed to bat and bowl but were allowed to do the fielding.

is was the birthplace of my great Aunt it is interesting to speculate whether one of the girls is her. They used to run boat trips there from Uxbridge when it was seen as a beauty spot. When I was a boy the track along to Bulls Bridge had a pig farm alongside and there was WW2 pill box by the bridge. I remember seeing filming by Southall Studios that included Bulls Bridge and the pill box. When I saw the film at the cinema I had my first lesson in film language when the characters walked past the Junction Arms and into a completely different location that was not Brent Road. I had some film cuttings from the studio that I picked up off the rubbish tip adjacent to the studios. Sadly they along with my collection of crown corks and other items disappeared as soon as I was away from home for study. In retrospect my mum threw away hundreds of pounds of items by todays prices but of course that is why they are rare and have now have a value.

ched her in the kitchen. She always used to casserole them with a piece of belly of pork.I loved it. Like you, we never ever ate horse meat though.

ugh strips
8 baby carrots, topped and tailed Mixed fresh herbs (parsley, oregano & thyme could use sage as well) and a bay leaf 250m1 dry white wine, 125m1 water & 375 ml chicken stock.
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Joint the rabbit into six pieces. chop the saddle at both ends (remove the leathery extremities of the saddle) and then separate the four legs. Dust with flour. Heat the oil in a stainless ovenproof saucepan over high heat. Add the rabbit in batches and get it well browned. This will take about 7-10 minutes. If things start to burn, lower the heat to medium. Remove the bunny and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and bacon to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion and bacon have taken on a bit of colour. Return the rabbit to the pan with the carrots and herbs. Stir it around, pour on the white wine and top up the pan with the stock. The level of liquid should just cover the rabbit. Bring to the boil, pop the lid on, and put in the oven until the meat is just starting to come away from the bone (about 2, hours). Serve with mashed potato or couscous and roasted baby beetroots and Brussels sprouts. Serves 4

her items mentioned. I preferred pigs hearts as they weren't so fatty as lambs hearts but I loved, and still do love, lambs liver. My mother-in-law (now long gone) used to sometimes roast half an ox heart in a very slow oven, sliced thinly and you'd never know it wasn't topside of beef. She also cooked stuffed breasts of lamb which, at that time, cost 3d each!

s delicious. Never needed any food caddies in our house in those days as every scrap of food was eaten, and if anyone left anything my brothers would always clear it up.

, and there were some really big whoppers! I also remember the wonderful bread that was baked every morning in a little bakery, and there was a queue to buy it before it ran out.

ark". That was particularly good to see. I think that was once an old "drove" road, but the enclosure of Osterley Park effectively killed it off. I do remember that even until about 1953, people thought they were "in the country" when you got west of Greenford, and only half of the buses went on to Ruislip then. Yeading nearly all scrubland and farms. Down Barns trackway one of the oldest roads in Britain ran Salisbury Plain to Norfolk

nded. A searchlight mounted on a tram went into action, and gradually made its way along to Shepherds Bush. We had to walk all the way home and guns could be heard in the distance". The war ended three months later.

torch messages to Luftwaffe one night there Castlebar fields and he got away. Ickenham (Swakeleys House perhaps) was meant to have major military use, but plans were abandoned. Part of reason for trolleybus abandonment 1960/62 was fear of total travel disruption if cold war developed and one bomb could have shut down entire system causing chaos.
Cold war really worried everyone, particularly politicians as like 1939, we were not ready yet again. Now surplus military places like Eastcote sold off to raise cash, but there were lots of them until 60's (one in Oldfield Lane I think). All sorts of things going on and most forgotten these days except by historians like yourself. Structure of UK has collapsed now as people reject values of earlier years and no community spirit left. Village Halls and community centres falling derelict and wanted by developers to build "flats" for fast buck.

interesting video on the site, including a view of no mans land with abandoned bicycles. One great uncle was in the cycling corps. Burnt records can be found on Ancestry for my grandfather and the one great uncle. I cannot find records for another great uncle although addresses and military numbers in the diary give some clues. My scottish grandfather on my mother's side is a total mystery although I remember a couple of his tales from the trenches. All very intriguing. My father was in the Gasworks Home Guard and trained at Osterley. He still had his Colt 45 at home when I was a boy. I used to play with it and the bullets without his knowledge. It was eventually thrown into the canal.

s blackbirds all fighting for their share of the cheese,so I cut it in small chunks so they could just grab a bit and fly off. The sultanas also disappeared, as did the Atora shredded suet and the halved apples. The other small birds on the bird table shared black sunflower seeds, peanut granules, dove & pheasant bantam mix, while the chaffinches had their nuts, shared with the two jays! Phew - now I'm going to have a cup of tea and a biscuit!

e is going to get anywhere near the apples. He chases everything off. Lots of blackbirds keep coming down, the Pied Wagtail's back with its tail flicking up and down, the Dunnock's hopping around, with sparrows and starlings. Four beautiful white doves, collared doves and the wretched pigeons were all lining up like soldiers along the top of the garage. The Tits and Chaffinches are taking the whole nuts in the terracotta container, when the Jays leave them some, and the mad squirrels frighten the life out of everything when they start chasing each other behind the Berberis bush (which I call the Sparrow bush) as that's where they all congregate. The 2 Woodpigeons are strolling around as if they are the Lords of the Manor, keeping the Collared Doves in order, and the Magpie only ventures in and out quickly. The robin doesn't stay around long once it's found something to eat, but a fight starts as soon as another robin appears! What a miserable life it would be without our birds. We must look after them.

ads, with tomatoes so cold they would hurt our teeth and my father would complain of them being tasteless. Tinned fruit and evaporated milk to follow with plenty of bread and butter to mop up the juice before we could have a slice of cake. The rooms would be festooned with paper chains which my brothers and I would make as well as those paper lanterns, bells and coloured balls that folded out and were secured with bendy metal tags. When it was time to take the decorations down, my mother would complain as all the dust from the open fires would have settled on them. Hair tied in a turban and an old wrap-around pinny on, she'd clean the place up and then sink herself into a hot bath and all would be clean and tidy once more. I can't remember a Christmas tree nor Christmas cards nor many presents. My father was a postman and worked on Christmas day and hungry as we might be, we couldn't eat until he came home, sometimes as late as teatime.

n it was still dark, congregating in my brothers' bedroom. Thinking about it, none of us ever got big presents, but we were always so pleased with what we got. We always had an orange each, and I loved it when I fished out an excercise book (probably from Woolies) with either a shiny red or blue cover, with all the measurements inside 12 inches one foot, three feet one yard, etc. etc. We often got coloured pencils and sometimes a paintbox with a brush. I remember my brother biting on what he thought was chocolate in cellophane only to discover it was plasticine! Such wonderful days. Can also remember having to help pulling all the feathers out of the turkey and putting them in the large bath that was kept outside in the garden. The Christmas pudding took days to finish, as all the fruit had to have the stones removed and then be washed. I know we all had to have a stir when it was finished and make a wish. It was magical. In the evening my father's workmate at the AEC, Dick Leech and his wife Amy and youngest son Norman used to join us to play cards and then have a singsong while my mother played the piano. I still get goodepimples whenever I hear "Roses in Picardy." My mum would start singing it and then dad would join in. Amidst troubled times there were some lovely memories.

stume..brooch coloured glass stones......gift to her..one time.....undergarments hankies socks gifts..kids bits...xmas pud..cake..or dundee cake..etc nuts dates..box sweets..

extra demand for gas for Christmas Day made that more likely. At the end of Brent Road there was a tunnel under the railway and a locked gate to which my father had a key to enter the Gasworks. All now open for access to the airport parking etc. In the front room a piano that none of us could play and a rotating piano stool. I would make myself feel sick by spinning on it. Somewhere I think I still have a small drinking glass that came on top of the seasonal ginger wine bottle.

ould sprint up the garden path to get it. When she eventually died, I ran across the road in Northcote Avenue to tell my best friend Mauvine. Her mother answered the door and could see that I had been crying. She said, "What's the matter?", and I told her Mary was dead. She said "Was it your aunt?", and I said "No, it was our chicken." I can still see that lovely old bird in my mind's eye!

r and he reluctantly handed over three chicks but moaned that the bundles weren't really worth more than one chick. Anyway, my mother somehow managed to rear just this one bird who grew into a fine cockerel and became our Christmas dinner. Reading contributions from you good people has brought back other memories to me of so many years ago when life was harder and yet more fun too.

I still have an "Uxbridge Area" bus & train timetable dated 1952 with all local services based on rural times. So sad Litton has gone the same way - it is not progress at all and I fear for next generation who will never know what lovely places have been destroyed
