shiners?

Did your wife live in Southall before marrying?

e though. Close neighbours of theirs I remember were Brian Preece and Vernon Card.
Didn't John's father work at the AEC. I did my apprenticship there. I am living near San Fransisco now, having lived in the USA for many years.
I wrote a little elsewhere on this page under "war time memories".

Say Hi to John and Beryl they may remember me.

be doing a bit of reminiscing, hopefully on the 30th March. He really wants to see The Junction. I think he will be in for a big surprise!

for too many fights. Southall wasn't much of a place for places to go for a night out. I now live near San Francisco. I remember at times walking through Southall thinking there has to be a better place to live than Southall. Well I certainly have found a great place to live and just love it here.

ead; she had eight children and lived in Lady Margaret Road. We have just lost one of them and went to the funeral from Havelock Road. There were quite a lot of us. I used to love Chris Barber and still have my old (green) membership card. We also used to go the Methodist Youth Club near the post office and went on rambles every Sunday. I'm now living in Devon. rosemary

sh you the
best of luck. Do you still live in Southall or have you moved away?

r and professional ranks in ability.

K & T's gates were right at that point, on your left. We lived in Marlborough Road, just further along Brent Road past Derly Road. The K & T factory was there together with Ticklers jam factory adjacent, through the second World War, but I don't know when those factories were built.

emises were a biscuit production plant, I don't know if this existed early this century. The actual buildings are long gone and the site is called the International Indsutrial Estate. I have fond memories delivering with my dad during school holidays in a Commer Karrier artic, the amount of freebies was unbelievable ahhhh the good old days

dered outside Kearly & Tonge warehouses - but as well as all over the docklands area. I am interested in finding out exactly where these warehouses were located and if it is possible to track down some of the history of the people who worked for them in those days.
I have attempted to research this with no success now for many years so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear of them.
I am a writer - who has already published a book on Jack the Ripper - and would be very interested in anyone out there who has the mettle to flesh these details out.
best wishes to the lot of you.

y and dancing at the Dominion. It would be lovely to hear from you.

e Akers, Percy Burkwood. Alf Prentice was our foreman. Those were good days, especially the Christmas Eve parties after work at the local pub: the Scotsman or the Junction Arms.

the last grandson is Joseph 31/10/2005. 1 week old almost to Victoria.
Dad is now in India teaching Axa's new call centre how to do it... hum good for him but not for us I know but I guess we can't stop these big companies.. stop preaching Emma...
He will be back just before Christmas, hopefully with prezzies lol.
Mum is working too and still dancing.

Feel free to contact me anytime.
All the best,
Emma

e tommy tickler tins..empty used for bombs.fruit south of southall was market garden grown for hundreds years my farm ancestors.shropshire women came every year to pick.bruce bairns father ticklers cartoon character...

our house, which as far as I remember no one ever used.
On a Saturday morning we kids would go to the Saturday morning pictures at the Palace Cinema near Southall Town Hall. I think it was sixpence to get in which was a lot of money to us then.
My mother grew up in Camden Town and every Sunday we would visit my Grandmother in Highgate.
We would take the train from Southall Station to Paddington and then a No 27 bus to Highgate. I hated the journey and used to read aloud the war time posters like "Is your journey really necessary".
My cousin who was eleven years older than me joined the ATS and had a Canadian boyfriend who used to visit, although she married a Welshman who was taken prisoner at Dunkirk and spent the whole war in a German POW camp.
I was eight when the war ended and there was a big bonfire and party in the street.
After the war we moved to Wentworth Rd which is actually in Heston but closer to Southall.
Well that's a few of my wartime memories.
I now live in California near San Francisco.

My parents used to billet the servicemen, and one Guy Bill, drove one of those wopping 80 feet long "Queen Mary" lorries with a flat bed. He used to go around picking up the crashed aircraft, and before he took them back to Heston, he would bring them round and park in our street. The vehicle took up half the street. The kids came from everyewhere, and were all over tha aircraft like ants. We got bomb-sights, gas masks, morse code tappers, and all sorts of stuff out of thos aircraft. He brought round Meshersmitts, Junkers 88, Mosquitos, Starlings, you name it. I just wish I knew what happened to all that stuff we got from those aeroplanes. I remember well too, the doodlebugs, V1's and V2's coming over from the coast of France, running out of fuel, and dropping all over the London area. We used to sleep in the Anderson shelter in the back garden, with the rats and mice, the dampness and the cold. Those Saturday morning trips to the gas works with the wheelbarrow to get 28lbs. of coke to heat our homes are indelible memories.

out Norwood Green was Mr Wilkes the headmaster, who's favorite teaching and educational tool was the cane, which he liked to use on the slightest provocation.
Some of my fellow class mates went on to Southall Grammar, unfortunately I was not one of them. From Norwood Green I went on to "Heston Secondary Modern", (How did they come up with that name?). Which was a much more pleasant experience for me, after the terror of N.G. and Mr Wilkes.
I spent some happy days in the Boy Scouts. Do you remember the Scouts hut next to Ives the newsagents? Some of the scouts I remember who lived in the area are; Claude Humphries, Tony "Tosh" O'Shea, Danny Drew and Lenny Potts.
Some of the people from Wentworth Rd and Norwood Green who went to Southall Grammar, Western rd or Featherstone Rd school are Micheal Kelly, David Carter, Tony Hood, Pauline Davis (very pretty girl from N.G. School). Leon and Ivan Hicks, Roy Carslake, Francis & Terry Diamond, Ann Rosamond (also a very pretty girl) all the Holt girls Mildred, Dorothy, Edie and Majorie. Pat Wootton My cousin went to Southall Grammar.
I seem to be going on a bit so I'll leave it here.
Maybe you'll know some of the people I mentioned.
Perhaps we can get some memories from the 50's.

Carslake were all in the same class at Western Road Primary. Didn't Brian Osler also live in Wentworth Road. He and Ron were very good friends. Ron lives in Reading, Berkshire. I remember Leon and Ivan Hicks, and I may be right in saying your cousin Pat Wooten was in my sister Iris's class. Iris is now 65, and lives in Canberra, Australia. I am 63 and I live in Toronto, Canada.

alleyway, along the back garden of 109 ,was built by our Dad, with bricks from that wartime air raid shelter. I can remember them coming round with that huge concrete ball on a big crane, and swinging it to smash the shelters down after the war. We carried a lot of those bricks over, two or three at a time, to our back garden, while dad was at work, and we helped him to mix the cement. He did all that brickwork himself, and he was a tool maker at Hoovers. Dad (bless him) lives in Canberra, Australia now, and is 94 years old (December 2002). He is still driving his car. Dad also built that conservatory on the back of number 109. You are welcome to

ary of North Road School and Abbots Timber Firm. A flying bomb fell in Southall Park, and brought the ceiling in on my bed-fortunately I was in the Morrison shelter downstairs! I seem to remember a land mine falling in Lady Margaret Road.

Renee, Betty, and Vic. Vic lived there until the 80's.and then moved to Cowley.

accomplished artist), married an English girl and stayed in England after the war.Before the war there were also refugees from the spanish civil war.

remember names now. Digging deep into my memory, some names I remember, Johnnie Couch, Derrick & Roy Ridley (not sure how their last name is spelled) Chris Lyon, there were others but can't remember their names now, and the only girl I remember is Joyce Carter. I remember her because I used to see her at the Dominion dances on Saturday nights, back in the early 50's. How is Brian these days and what is he doing now? Retired I expect. I moved to the USA in 1967, started in Seattle and finished up in San Francisco. Recently retired from IBM.

.
ii) Small bomb fell on the boundary between Abbot's Wood Yard, and North Road School-little damage.
iii)A bomb fell on Barret's Shoe shop one evening, which must have shaken the people in the Palace Cinema at the time. Very sadly two sisters (Seymour??) were standing in the doorway of Barrets waithing for a bus, and were killed- Dolly had been in my class at North Road. My father told me the next morning that shoes were strewn all over South Road.
iii) A small bomb in Hamilton Road -??>
iv) A large bomb fell in the Argyll Road area, making a very large crater-I don't think there were any serious injuries.
v) A bomb fell on the sidings of the GWR railway- lifted one wall of the Villiers Scout out.
Now to the V1's. One fell in Southall Park, and the other I think in the Regina Road area.
What have I forgotten??
