Childhood In Brentford
A Memory of Brentford.
My name is Carol Dawson (nee Thomas), I lived in Kenley Road with my mum Ellen, dad Len & my brother John. I went to St Georges School in 1951, I remember Mr Allen & Mr Church, there was a dishy teacher there also & when we left to go to Brentford School for Girls, us girls cried. My best friends were Ann Cox, Barbara Treadgold & Anita Philpot. Anita lived across the road from us, we lived at No.9, Ann at No.6 and Barbara was No.13. I used to go & watch 'The Bees' from an early age, my cousin David lived round the corner in Ealing Road with my Nan and we used to do our chores in the morning, then down to Mrs Pinks pie & mash shop then on to the football match at Griffin Park.

I was a bridesmaid at Anita Philpott's wedding! I was about 7 years old and she was very kind to me - I had to miss being bridesmaid to someone else as I caught chickenpox, so she had me as her bridesmaid instead a few months later. I still have a photo. It is such a shame that we can't post photos here.

My brother was Bill. Unfortunately we lost him some years ago at a young age of 51, bless him. Do you have any photos of him as best man?.
I remember your mum and you for that matter. We used to take you to the park in fact I think I broke your arm when we came of the slide. I would love to hear from you xxx

My dad Michael purdy will be sad to hear about bill, he always talks about him.
I know he will definitely have pictures when he was best man, will ask him when I see him.
