Southall Working Men's Club

A Memory of Southall.

I recently went back for a nostalgic look at the area I came from and wondered if anyone knows if and when Southall Working Men's Club changed address.

I used to go there when I was young as my dad Charlie Hayes was president there for a long time, I think in the 50's and 60's. Fred Ketley was also a name I remember - he could have been treasurer.

When I went back last month I found Clifton Road, where I lived and went to junior school ok but the club wasn't where I remembered it. I knew it was in Featherstone Rd but didn't recognise the building from my childhood.

If anyone can help I would be grateful.

I live in Jersey, Channel Islands now but do like to go back now and again.

Sheila Haynes (was Hayes).

Hi Sheila. I lived next door to the Working Mens Club in Featherstone Road during the fifties and sixties. I seem to remember the name Charlie Hayes. My dad was a member there. It was taken over by the Indian Workers Association in the sixties.

Southall WMC was first in Featherstone Road but moved around the corner to Featherstone Terrace. It is still there but not as we remember it. My dad was president in the 1970s - Wally Pearson. I met my husband there in the 1970s. I remember the name Ketley and also the name Charlie Hayes. I moved away in 1980 and was last there a couple of years ago for a funeral wake.

Hi Sheila,
My name is Michael and I knew you and your family quite well back in the 50/60s. I used to live around the corner at No 47, Endsleigh Road and was a mate of your brother Jeff. I remember your Dad ( Charlie ), and you had a sister ( Margaret ?) Jeff and I got into endless scrapes and on one occassion we ran away to Windsor, which to us was a long way from home.I think we also used to "Bunk Off" from school and stay at your house watching TV. I remember we got caught by Mr Larkin the truant officer, and got the cane from Mr Jeffries the Head Master at Western Road School. I now live in Derbyshire and would like to exchange a few memories with you.
