Hanworth Terrace Or Bell Alley As Locals Called It And Bell Road

A Memory of Hounslow.

I remember the walkway between Whitton Road and Hanworth road which ended opposite Bell Road. There was a greengrocer stall about halfway along the alley, i was often sent up to get some veg with my mums string bag lined with a sheet of newspaper to put potatoes in. He was a nice chap, slightly disabled, i remember he had a special raised shoe. At the Bell Road end was a florist. Opposite was a bakers. There was a toy shop in Bell Road that had a wonderful display of plastic animals, cowboys and indians also soldiers. Further along was the Methodist church which had a hall with a youth club and was where i met my husband.
