Growing Up In Greenford 1957 1970s

A Memory of Greenford.

Wow! Thanks for those memories. A million miles away in rural East Anglia, remembering growing up in Greenford. Stanhope Infants and Juniors, Mr Bishop, Mrs Avery, anybody went there remember them? Sainsburys with, indeed, that decorated floor. And that certain smell of cheese, coffee and other delicious stuff. Yes, the covered market in Windmill Street - I used to go there every week for a bag of those chocolate buttons covered in hundreds and thousands....oh my god the floodgates have opened - the brilliant Bunny Park, taking old lettuce to feed the bunnies in that funny cage, that really wasn't a cage cos they could surely all dig out underneath! the smelly old river and the tree that used to hang over the river that we would swing on, We used to roll down the hill towards that funny old bridge below the church. Anybody remember the new Hall that was built? My mum joined the operatic society so me and my brother and dad would be dragged down to watch her perform - sniggering quietly in the back! Youth club at the community centre - the park, playing tennis when it was Wimbledon. And just that sense of security that all was well., Priceless. What days!
