Eresby Mews

A Memory of Kilburn.

I was born in Eresby Mews in 1948 in a flat above an old stable or coach house, my father Harry was born in the same mews in 1905. He owned a garage business in the mews from the 1930's until 1963, named Floyds Garage. I remember many happy times with him at the garage during every school holiday through the 1950' and early 60's. Somewhere off Edgware road one of his clients a Mr Loombes owned a diner where we would go for a special lunch a real treat then. My mother was in service in Willesden Lane and met my father when he was a part time chauffeur for the Woolfe family who she worked for. I have been living in South Africa for many years but my early years in Kilburn were days that were very special as were the friend I made.
