Bilton Road

A Memory of Perivale.

I have fond memories of Bilton Road. I was born at west Middlesex hospital but lived at 172 Bilton Road between 1955 and 1966. We used to make a guy every year for Guy Fawkes night and stand outside Martins newsagents collecting, as soon as we got anything we would go in and buy fireworks. Also I remember the Home and Colonial Stores with its green and cream marble floor and counters. My mother, Maureen, was a nurse at Wembley Hospital, and my father was an engineer at Walter Kidde, close to Alladins on the A40.
I have memories of a large fire around 1965!! at the paint factory - rippolins??? Waddsworth Road.
