Hi Roy , Ernie Herschell was my best friend, as you probably know his family ran a fruit and veg shop on Wellington rd. More details on the comments page I have just added. All best wishes Warren Stutely "bunny"

Hello Bunny, long time no see - about 50 years. My name is Jackie Hart (Warne) and my sister June and I lived in Beresford Gardens. Lon's greengrocer's was on the corner. I remember Ernie's wedding. Do you remember Carol's eye. It was completely red as they had been attacked rockers the week before. I also remember one Christmas when we conga'd all the way from our house, in the Herschel's door, up and down the stairs and out the door again and back to our house.

Hi bunny, I remember coming your your house many a time. I believe you lived with your mum and your auntie. We lived down Beresford Gardens and I was. V goof friend of Ernies. We were both mods together and very good mates. I can also remember a few other names vaguely (had bad illness in 1974 lost a lot of memory also) but it's nice to see names I recognise on here. My name was June Warne and I went to Spring Grove Central and then when I was 13 I sat the 13+ and then to the Hampton branch Of Twickenham tech. I left Spring Grove Central along with Linda Hughes. ( we still keep in touch occasionally). Would love to hear from anybody who remembers me. I now live in Somerset.

Dear dodsleymont/jackiehart just got your comments. Sorry so late, not good with computers. June you had fantastic laugh and made us all happy. You were then going out with a bus driver,if mymemory is right. Do you remember bonzo ??? He went out with a blonde girl, Michel ??? Who lived in Martindale rd near Hounslow west youth club where we all went. Also Dave Goddard! Johnny beryl and Vicki west ??? I think her parents had an antique shop near corner of bell rd/hanworth rd I went out with Linda stanbridge of roseheath rd about this time. You probably know Ernie passed away???? I remember his wedding to carol and the church on ham common. We were both working as telegram boys at the time. How time fly's. Please get in touch when you have a moment, our past is so important. All love and best wishes warren. Bunny. Stutely@gmail

"Beresford Gardens" is off Wellington Rd South. When I was a boy the land behind The Plough pub was a nursery. Grannie Boor kept a greengrocers opposite Victoria Ave. The owner of the nursery used to speak to my mother when I was still a toddler. She had the 'pram' to carry shopping but I am walking with her the 'pram' handle above my head. She had obviously told him my name because she would say to me "shake hands with Mr ??" and he would speak my name and comment on it. Oh how I wish I could recall his name. When the land was sold and that road was built I was about 8 to 12 (by then & moved away). The new road was called by my name. We were never able to confirm the connection because the man had died. We had lived on Wellington Rd just beyond Roseville Ave. The shops were Mr Durston at the Post Office, Mr & Mrs Jones in the dairy, and Platts Stores the grocer. The corner was a bomb site. (Later car sales I think).
I went to my first school in Cromwell Rd although it was called Grove Rd! The head was Mr Willmot. My first teacher was Mrs Avelyn and there was also a Miss McNichol. I remember the winter of 1947. I remember the Butchers Institute as it was, and all the cinema’s you mentioned. I even remember the horse trough. So so long ago........!
