Ickenham In The 1940s
A Memory of Hillingdon.
I was baptised in St Giles's Church in March 1943, having been born in Hoylake Crescent. My paternal grandparents also lived in Hoylake Crescent. I went to Breakspeare Primary School from 1948 to 1952 when the family moved to Cornwall.
My parents were married in St. Martin's Church in Ruislip as my maternal grandparents lived in Ruislip.
Our bungalow backed onto the River Pinn and in winter if often flooded into our back garden but in summer we paddled in it looking for "tiddlers". Lots of open spaces and we could safely go and play without our parents. Happy days.
