I remember Hounslow High St for all the shoe shops. Hounslow was the place to go for shoes. People used to walk up and down the High St in the evening. Later on I remember Hounslow Ricky Tick, saw many great groups there in the sixties. It was opposite the bus garage.
We all know that the Cary Grant film ''The Grass is Greener'' was filmed at Osterly House, but in the film there is what looks like a couple of flower beds in front of the house & and also a long path leading away from it. Was this the layout in 1966 or were these additions just props?........Also was any of the interior used for filming? Thanking You. Roy.
My goodness, in 1966 my mum used to wheel me here in my pram with my brother sat on the seat at the front. A few years later in the 1970's we had many a great picnic in front of this lovely house. A great afternoon out, giving my mum a rest on the grass for a few hours whilst my brother and I tired ourselves out playing and running around. Not like now 'No Ball Games' allowed.
