Boston Manor Part 2
A Memory of Brentford.
The streets around Boston Manor were more spacious and had bigger houses than Hanwell. Southdown Avenue was very grand. Going towards Elthorne Park I remember Mr Mitchell our geography teacher at Bordeston school lived. On the right Mrs Costick who was 7th Hanwell Cubs Akala lived. Running paralell with Southdown Avenue was Wyke Gardens which had about 15 prefabs down one side. They had a splendid view across the allotments. Boston Gardens on the other side of the station ran along to Boston Manor park with its fine Jacobean House. I remember a girl called Lesley Greenwood who lived there whom I used to see at St Thomas Church when I attended church with my parents. She was with hers and her sister. She had a friend called Nina Burden. It seemed a very ordered life then. It seemed in the late fifties change was around. By the early sixties things were good for teenagers and it seemed it would be so for ever. However we all grew up and moved on. I wonder where everybody is now?
