Watford/Bushey

The Odeon Cinema 1961
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We moved to Bushey in the early 1960s. My love of Top Rank came as I grew up with Waford being a big town. My dad worked on the new M1 Cox's corner, which now I understand is not there. Tthere were fields all around. We used to play in them, something "Park Avenue" was the big road, a pub called the Otter's Inn. I went to a school called "High Wood" and then on to a school that the George Michael attended - how posh am I? I remember watching Alma Coghan's funeral, the Jewish cemetery was not far away from Coldharbour Lane, Bushey.... we were asked to stand up and pay our respects. I loved every minute of my time at that school, my love of English and History is forever in my mind, and oh boy I will not forget my English teacher Mr Arthur and History Mrs Mather, thank you both. Uou inspired me....xx
