Black Eyes!
A Memory of Hounslow.
I also remember Hounslow Cottage Hospital very well. I had personal experience of it when I was taken there for a check-up after a minor car accident in about 1950/1 when I smashed my face. They checked I didn't have a broken nose - but I did end up with two lovely black eyes! I went there again as an older child of about 6 or 7 circa 1955 with my fellow classmates from Wellington Junior School to take gifts of fruit to the young in-patients - possibly in connection with Harvest Festival. I lived on the Bath Road, a few doors away from the Windsor Castle Public House from 1950 to 1968. My childhood home was demolished in the 1970s, I believe, and much of the area has changed.
