The building that was once The Fairy Belle still stands at the bottom of the High St on the opposite side to The Crown & Sceptre. The name has nothing to do with bells. The word belle was a shortened form of belledame which meant witch. The Fairy Belle in the 1950's was largely unaltered from the days when it was an inn. The Old inn sign of the witch on her broomstick is in the local museum. ...see more
We lived in Uxbridge in the early 1960s. I used to go swiming at the swimming pool behind the college. The college had just been built and we went to St Andrew's COE School. The school was really old and we had a big iron fire-guard round the fire in the clasroom which was divided into two. I remember going to a big store in Uxbridge to see Father Christmas, and a green where witches were meant to be.
