Childhood In Brentford

A Memory of Brentford.

My name is Carol Dawson (nee Thomas), I lived in Kenley Road with my mum Ellen, dad Len & my brother John. I went to St Georges School in 1951, I remember Mr Allen & Mr Church, there was a dishy teacher there also & when we left to go to Brentford School for Girls, us girls cried. My best friends were Ann Cox, Barbara Treadgold & Anita Philpot. Anita lived across the road from us, we lived at No.9, Ann at No.6 and Barbara was No.13. I used to go & watch 'The Bees' from an early age, my cousin David lived round the corner in Ealing Road with my Nan and we used to do our chores in the morning, then down to Mrs Pinks pie & mash shop then on to the football match at Griffin Park.
