My Parents Owned North Harrow Cycles: A memory of North Harrow

My Parents Owned North Harrow Cycles

A Memory of North Harrow.

My parents June & Brian Cocklin owned the Cycle and Toy Shop at 14 Broadwalk from 1963 until 1975. I lived there with my brother Christopher and sister Leonie. The shop was next door to Diggi's Cake Shop and also the other side was City Electronics. (The organ / record shop). We lived above our shop and City Electronics. All of us children went to Pinner Park and Nower Hll High (Headstone Secondary school). It has been brilliant looking at this website and reading of peoples memories of the area. I remember the Old Thythe Barn Well from my school days. If anybody remembers us, they will remember that Christopher died of cancer in 1974, but the rest of us are all well and living in Essex, my parents still miss the shop and I suppose I do as well. Fantastic memories of the time spent there. I will definetly come back and tell some more memories of my time in North Harrow. Joanne

Hi Joanne. I well remember your shop and your parents and sadly the tragic death of your brother. We moved to Woodlands in the 60s and our children were born early 70's. I well remember getting a twin push chair from your parents shop and also visiting them at their caravan on the Thames when our son was just a few months old in 1972. We still live in the same house and our children and grandchildren live in the Watford area. The area hasn't altered much but of course the shops have changed hands many times. Many of the older residents they knew are no longer around but the area is still a friendly vibrant neighbourhood. Frances Robinson
