Peggy was born and brought up in Salisbury Road, and I moved from Acton to Southall when I was 4, and lived in Kingsley Avenue until I was 7, and thereafter in Shackleton Road. Peggy went to Clifton Road School, and I to North Road School, and we both met at Southall County School. Peggy caught diphtheria in 1942 and spent 13 weeks in Mount Pleasant Isolation Hospital. For pocket money I worked as an errand boy at the Elite Fish Buffet in North Road, Meyers in King Street and Stowells in the Broadway and North Road. Later, after I'd been in the Army and Peggy and I had got married in Australia, I worked as a teacher at Tudor Road, Dormers Wells, Featherstone and Southall Tech. I was one of the leaders of Southall Manor Youth Club, and in the Airborne RAMC at the TA Drill Hall. We lived in Hanson Gardens and our children were in Southall Swimming Club which we actively supported, so we have lots of memories of Southall, although we left it in 1964, and have been living in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, ever since.

nd would like to know what became of him.
Mike Braden (E-mail:Michaelprf@aol.com

grew up there and were forced to move away, like me, through no choice of their own, but due to the fact that it was no longer a decent place to bring up children.

and playing near Toplocks was like being miles from anywhere. The whole area now (Southall & Norwood Green) is a festering dump but as we are told 'thats progress'

, dont know if anyone rembers Andy Streams who lived in the flats in Hillary road, he passed away about a week ago from liver failure ,

nocked down and rebuilt as an old peoples home which apparently it still is. Going back to the Scarlet Fever I was about 5 years old and still remember my Mum and Dad visiting but they could only look through the window and wave which was very upsetting. How times change eh!

ing to you in those days so you really didn't know why you were in there.I don't know how long I was in for but even now it seems like a lifetime.Thank goodness things have changed in hospitals for children.At least they don't have a lifelong fear of them these days.

ited there for a day in June (she spent the summer staying and working in Reading). My brother Derek drove her all around Southall taking photos of various places I had listed for them. What memories came back when they told me they had lunch at the Junction Arms pub. We (me and my brothers and sister) were born in Marlborough Rd., that is except Derek. He was born in Hillingdon Hospital.

t the green outside was their private property. Still, take a look at them now eh.Most property in Allendale and surrounding area was bought and many improvements made and looked much better than those flats in the end. What goes around comes around!!!!!!

quite close to Featherstone Rd. but maybe there was another one.
Hope someone else can help you Margaret.

Late night coffee stall	by Michael Braden (Member 10097376) on 25-Oct-2003
Does anyone remember the old fashioned coffee stall that used to open at ~9pm, and remained open until the early hours. It was run by a man called Tom until he retired in the early 50's. His pitch was just off The Broadway in Greenford Road. He use to heat his pies and sausage rolls with coke ovens. A lot of his clientel were long distance lorry drivers, as well as customers from the pubs after c losing time.

Old Southallians	by barbara & alan peachey (Member 10093440) on 28-Sep-2003
It angers me that Southall Grammar School have taken this website name, when I consider myself to be an old Southallian, as does everybody else on this website. After all I was born and bred there as no doubt many of you were, and my father before me. Is there anyone out there, amongst this group, clever enough to set up a new website for the likes of us.

Southall Isolation Hospital	by Michael Braden (Member 10097376) on 28-Aug-2003
The Isolation Hospital was situated on North Road, near where the road bends right to go up to the Beehive pub, and certainly existed up to WW2, and possibly afterwards.It dealt with a)Diphtheria b) Scarlet fever as it was then called. I was there with scarlet fever in 1938 during the Munich crisis. Does anyone els remember it? Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Alan Ansell (Member 10052800) on 29-Aug-2003 HI Michael: if you are talking about the Hospital which housed TB patients in the 50's, I was there. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the place. I spent 9 months in there with TB from May to December 1957,(I was 17) and was then moved to a large mansion in Harrow Weald to do 3 months rehabilitation. Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Alan Ansell (Member 10052800) on 30-Aug-2003 I have now remembered the name of that Hospital where I spent 9 months of my life. It was Mount Pleasant. Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Michael Braden (Member 10097376) on 30-Aug-2003 Well done Alan! You are quite right. A couple of memories have come back to me. One of the orderlies/ambulance drivers was called Dickinson-his daughter was a contemporary of mine at North Road. Of the chldren in my ward there was Heather Kerridge and David Ward. Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Dilys Boot (Member 10061138) on 31-Aug-2003 Hi,I was also in Mount Pleasant Hosp When it was an isolation hosp. with Scarlet Fever.That would have been in the mid forties. In 1948 we moved to Allendale Avenue and backed onto the hospital.You are correct in saying it became a TB hosp. for a while but once TB was eradicated it became a hospital for people disabled elderly and dying. A few years before I moved from there in 1991 it had been k nocked down and rebuilt as an old peoples home which apparently it still is. Going back to the Scarlet Fever I was about 5 years old and still remember my Mum and Dad visiting but they could only look through the window and wave which was very upsetting. How times change eh! ... more >> Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Michael Braden (Member 10097376) on 4-Sep-2003 Dilys has reawakened a memory that has been dormant for 65 years-i.e visiting parents having to be outside, and trying to communicate through the windows. I seem to rember that I was in for two weeks, changing wards at the end of the first week. I also recall the food was pretty basic! Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Dilys Boot (Member 10061138) on 4-Sep-2003 I don't have very good memories of being in Mount Pleasant Isolation Hospital.Although very young they have stayed with me and given me quite a phobia about hospitals.I remember one nurse who was quite sadistic and today would be thrown out of any childrens ward. Who could we tell when we couldn't even speak to our parents only wave through the window as if we were in a zoo. Nobody explained anyth ing to you in those days so you really didn't know why you were in there.I don't know how long I was in for but even now it seems like a lifetime.Thank goodness things have changed in hospitals for children.At least they don't have a lifelong fear of them these days. ... more >> Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Alan Ansell (Member 10052800) on 13-Sep-2003 Michael: I guess I had forgotten about the scarlet fever days. I am not sure if my older brother Ron, and my sister Iris were in there with me too, but you sure brought it back with the memories of Mum and Dad peering at us thorugh the windows. I was about five then, just around the end of WW2. It may even been a little earlier. Southall was a good place then. My 21 year old daughter just vis ited there for a day in June (she spent the summer staying and working in Reading).

Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Richard Mullans (Member 10107842) on 16-Oct-2003 Just a little information to add, one entrance to the Hospital was next to a block of flats behind the shops in North Road. Purcill House Re: Southall Isolation Hospital by Dilys Boot (Member 10061138) on 17-Oct-2003 Those flats were not built until the early fifties I believe. That area was just a patch of waste ground.We didn't move to Allendale Ave until 1948 and I can remember them being built some time after that.The first tenants to move in thought they were very much a cut above the older type council house dwellers and always came out to any children who didn't actually live in the flats to tell us tha t the green outside was their private property. Still, take a look at them now eh.Most property in Allendale and surrounding area was bought and many improvements made and looked much better than those flats in the end.

Cramic	by davo (Member 10030212) on 18-Mar-2003
Does anyone out there remember the Cramic down near Southall station ? My father used to work there in the mid to late 60,s I wonder if it is still there or is it now part of history. would love to hear from anyone who used to work there Re: Cramic by lorrie (Member 10102386) on 2-Aug-2003 Dont know if Cramic is still there ,My father also worked there , John Fitzgerald. Re: Cramic by Michael Braden (Member 10097376) on 2-Aug-2003 During either my second or third year at Southall Junior Tech (1944/1945), a group of us went down in the evenings to help out with some urgent order for the RAF, under the supervision of our Metalwork Master, Bert Mansell. Funny Cramic's name coming up after all these years. Michael Braden Re: Cramic by David A. Cavell (Member 10037516) on 15-Sep-2003 I believe that Cramic moved out to the Banbury area. At one time they were off Western Road, almost opposite the Football Ground. Our brother John used to work for them in those days. Re: Cramic by Richard Mullans (Member 10107842) on 16-Oct-2003 I used to work at the Cramic in the mid 60's and spooky enough I went to the Southall Tech School from 59 to 63 and our metal work master was Bert Mansell as well, he even told me to work in any industry except anything to do with metal yet I qualified as a toolmaker and work at Cramic as a precision miller. I believe the factory site may still be there but not Cramic. Re: Cramic by Alan Thomas (Member 10214550) on 5-Oct-2007 This is a response to a very old posting, re Cramic. I served an apprenticeship there, it started in 1960 and lasted for five years. I have very fond memories of the factory and the fellow workers there. It finally closed down around 1971. It is probably a bit late in the day to post this reply, but if anyone is interested enough to get in touch, feel free.
