Greenford 1954 1974
A Memory of Greenford.
I lived in Locarno Road from 1954-1974. I remember clearly going to Saturday morning pictures at the Granada (later known as Tescos) and getting an ice cream from Creamery Fare afterwards. We used to go to Greenford community centre on a Friday evening to the disco. Ravenor Park was a favourite meeting place for friends. Toni's coffee bar seemed such a grown up place to go. I think I only ever had milkshakes. I used to hate the smell of the fish stall in the market. My mum used to buy my dad kippers and smoked haddock. Woolworths! The loose biscuits and anything else you needed. I remember Sainsbury's with long counters each side and a very decorative floor, swimming at Northolt pool, and getting the 92 bus to Greenford station and then the tube to Northolt. Fun days. My dad never approved of us hanging around the Wimpy bar (I wonder why.
