Greenford Home 1956 1971

A Memory of Greenford.

I loved growing up in Greenford. Iwas born in Chiswick, Middlesex. I lived around Mansell Road, Fermoy Road etc, and spent most of the time in the Rec, Horseden Hill, Perival Park and Church Fields (bunny park). I remember cutting through the allotment in Portland Crescent to get to Windmill Lane to pick me mates up and go onto the bunny park. I also remember wading in the River Brent for tiddlers and using a lighted fag to get the leeches off our legs. And playing footie after school and annoying the neighbours, and scrumping for apples, and riding a go cart, with the string breaking while going down a steep hill with a sharp bend at the bottom - OUCH! And the school holidays, which seemed to go on for ever.

Hi Lesley
I lived in Fermoy Road I remember you had the corner house. My late sister was Carol who I think spent a lot of time at your place.
