St Marys Church was my special place. I would go there whenever I needed to think or just find inner peace. It helped me through a sometimes difficult transition to adulthood. Although I now live 56 miles away, it is still my place of hope, and I go back there every chance I get. It's so beautiful, my very own stairway... [more]

Greater London memories
Having grown up in Harrow during the 1950s and 60s, how well I remember my trips to Universal Stationers, seen here at the top of Station Road close to its junction with College Road. As a child I was always fascinated with stationery items and this shop stocked everything you needed. Upon entering you would be greeted by an assistant who... [more]

I played piano at ''The Swan''
I was directed to this site by a friend who was convinced one of the contributors must have been my brother, because it mentioned that his father ran a fish stall in South Harrow Market (our father did) and how green South Harrow was after coming from Bermondsey in London. (That's where we grew up.) However, reading on, that contributor had... [more]

My first sight of South Harrow was when my dad ran a fish stall in the railway market in South Harrow, he worked there for about 10 to 12 years after which he bought a shop of his own in Alexandra Avenue. Coming from Bermondsey in London, South Harrow was a very green and pleasent area with its tree-lined roads and tidy... [more]

South Harrow in the 1950s & 60s
I was born in 1950 and lived at 27 Eastcote Lane, with a superb view of the gas holder from my bedroom window. I remember Macdonalds the fishing equipment shop which was almost opposite my house and apparently highly regarded across a wide area. Other shops included Hodges the newsagent in Northolt Road from where I did my paper round in... [more]

On the left of the photo is Woolworths, above which were flats - including one where the rock star/ wannabe MP Screaming Lord Sutch lived for a while. Another Rocker lived in South Harrow - Johnny Kidd (and the Pirates). I used to live just off Corbins Lane. St Pauls Church built a church hall in a lane that went off... [more]

North London Photographic Memories
The slopes to the rear of West Street are still green, and the view at the end of the 20th century is a little less smoke-hazed. The Fives Courts in the left foreground of the photograph are a bit dilapidated, but they are now roofed; the adjacent Gymnasium Building is little altered. The big change is the addition, in the lee... [more]

This photograph was taken from almost exactly the same viewpoint as one to be seen later taken in 1960; it is very much apparent that at this time the village was a thriving, almost self-sufficient commercial centre. Virtually every building has a shop front, but today the number is considerably reduced, and their uses are less practical - for instance, Hartley... [more]

It all looks neater now, and the trees have been thinned. Nothing new architecturally has been added. Clearly visible in the photograph is the Old Music School, now replaced lower on the slope by a grander building by E S Prior. Behind the trees, with only the chimney pots visible, are the purpose-built school houses, Garlands, The Knoll and Hillside. Football... [more]
