Memories

A Memory of Colnbrook.

I was born in a little house adjoining the Ostrich Inn in Colnbrook in 1938 my Father was a pastry cook confectioner who worked at Gilsons bakery at the end of the high street was previously called Wellers. I arrived in the front room before the midwife arrived, next door was a small shoe shop. I went to the local village school until I was 12 then on a scholarship to Slough technical college. Our house was very old we had a very low ceiling in the living room which was plaster and larch which one day fell down and underneath was the most beautiful old black and white ceiling with very old ships beams.
