Childhood Memories 1950s
A Memory of Ickenham.
We moved to Ickenham in 1950, I was three, we lived in Greenacres Avenue, only partially completed then, a cowfield next to our house to where Breakspear Road South is now, St George's Drive was not built. We could see the GWR from our front bedroom.
Attended Breakspear Primary School, walked there daily across the River Pinn via Copthall Road West.
Had a wonderful childhood, special memories of the railway embankment, the river, the splash, skating on Swakeleys Lake in the winter and as I got older a Saturday job in Aldridges hardware shop.
Remember St Giles Church being extended and the new shops and houses ether side of Walton, Hassel and Port being built.
I moved out in the 1970s after qualifying as an Accountant, moved to Gloucestershire where I established my own accountancy practice, now retired and spend part of my time in the Fench Alps where I have a second home.
