Carr Road Northolt
A Memory of Northolt.
I was born 1945 at 191a Carr Road and lived there for 20 years when I married and moved to Hayes. I lived there with my brother Alan, my cousins Roy and Pat Hodge lived next door as well as Ronnie Pickering. Went to all the Wood End Schools, I remember Miss Bearn, headteacher at the senior school, with Mrs Herman. Science, Miss Wingate, PE, Mrs Carpenter and Mrs Hardy. I remember the Lyons sports field behind the school and their very cold outdoor swimming pool. Went back to visit school about five years ago and spoke to the headteacher at the infant school, she said she has 36 different languages in her school, the school still looked good. Friends Lesley Holland and Margaret Lever lived in Castle Road. I also remember a Roy Jones who lived at the top of Castle Road hill. Does anyone remember us? Brenda Jackson

I was born at 114 The Fairway in 1940 and my auntie, uncle and cousins lived in Carr rd at the corner of Rothesay ave. I, like you went to Wood End schools and remember it fondly, and not so fondly the cold swimming pool at Lyons sports ground. Nice to know that it is still there after all these years. I now live in Perth Australia where the sun shines almost every day and it never goes below zero.
Best wishes
Roy
I forgot to ask, did your friend Lesley Holland have a brother Tommy Holland lived on the corner of Oriel Way? Tommy was a good friend of mine. He would be 75 this year.

It sounds as if you knew my middle brother Tom. There were 5 of us Hollands and we lived in Castle Rd on the corner house. From my earliest memories our house and garden were always full of boys playing football and generally tearing around. I do not think our front door was ever locked as there was constant traffic. Happy times I'm sure my parents were ok with it as they usualy knew we were safe.
I will tell him that you have written on here so he can contact you.
