Memories

A Memory of Slough.

I lived in Upton Park throughout my childhood and also attended St Mary's School in Herschel Street.
I also recall regular visits to the ABC cafe after school in my teens.
The Crown Hotel was just about opposite the ABC, on the corner of the High Street.
The Granada Cinema was a favourite haunt, as was the Adelphi where I first saw the Beatles. I had a Saturday job in Timothy Whites the chemist in the High Street and also when it was taken over by Boots. I also recall Wigglesworth and the 'hole in the wall' greengrocers next to it. Also the 'supermarket' David Greigs in the High Street and MacFisheries. Happy days!
