Growing Up In Radlett 1950's

A Memory of Radlett.

My stepfather (Bob Hughes) was a fireman in Borehamwood, and for many years we lived in the house which adjoined the Radlett Firestation at the back. I remember working at the old cinema on the Oakway as an usherette when I was about 14 years old, also in Granges the grocer, and later at Smith Wendell's chemist. I also remember stopping at the bakery in the shops up near the post office on my way home from school most days and getting a 'penny bag of bits' (the end of the day cakes that were left over). I got married in Christ Church in 1964. All these memories have been reignited with your wonderful website - thank you so much.
