Lady Margaret Road

A Memory of Heston.

We moved to 108 Lady Margaret Road in 1969. I went to St. Anselms RC school in the Green and then later Southall Grammar (Villiers); my brothers William and Martin went to St. Marks (Hounslow) and Ealing Green then to Dormers. Mum and Dad (John and Kathleen Gray) sold the house in 1994 and moved back to Ireland - I begged them not to sell it - Southall is a special place and we had THE BEST neighbours; Mary Boultwood, Shirley and Ron Toms, the Mogeys, Iris and many others. It was the kind of place where all the kids got along and everyone looked out for each other. As a kid, the paddling pool behind the Lady Margaret was the place to go as well as Spikes Bridge for mini-golf, not to mention Brockhouse for sweets. Loved my childhood in Southall - wouldn't trade it - go back to visit whenever I can. Eileen
