Old Southall

A Memory of Southall.

Yes the bakers was Parkers, but before that it was called "Fowlers" and that name was in the mosaic floor in their doorway. They used to do lovely cream cakes.
My mum who had moved to Southall in 1932, went to Western Road School just round the corner from Derley Road where she lived. I followed in her footsteps and also went to Western Road School, but that was after it amalgamated with Featherstone Secondary School. They called it the Western Road Annexe. Two of the teachers there were Mrs Barlow and Mrs London. Does any one remember them? Another of the teachers was Mrs Parker. she lived on Western Road. My parents were good friends of her's.
