The Odeon

A Memory of Hounslow.

Every Saturday morning my brother Frank and sister Lorna and I were there for the children's matinee so much fun. We were born during WWII and I remember how close our neighborhood was and the Odeon was part of it. When I got a little older I used to go to the dances held in the room on top of the Odeon. What beautiful memories it has for me. We lived on Broad Walk not far from All Saints Church where the bomb shelter was. My mother passed away in 2000 and I travelled from America to England to say my goodbyes to her and saw that now the Odeon was a grocery store. Something clicked in my memory and I thought that it also was once a bowling lanes but maybe I'm wrong. I noticed a memory from a person that lived on Beavers Lane, I think that is were my dear friend and bridesmaid Sandra lives. Jennifer Ponsford Bibb
