Greenland Crescent
A Memory of Southall.
I also remember Ives newsagent, used to get my Mandy and Bunty comics from there regularly.
The Candy Box was a treat. The other shops on the parade next to the Prince of Wales pub that I can remember were Lester's the grocers, Wilsons Newsagents, a Wool shop a Greengrocers and a cobblers. Does anyone remember Arthurs, a sort of hut where you could get your parrafin from, near the Halfway house pub?
I was born in Trinity Road but moved when I was 3 to Greenland Crescent so that would have been about 1962. Yes lots of memories of playing in the Rec and summers at the open air swimming pool.
Went to St Anslem's primary school. My Dad still lived there until 2007 until he died so have not been back since.

Back to the Prince of Wales parade, I lived in Tachbrook Road (opposite), so I remember the shops quite well. The cobblers was Mr Quelch, the Wool Shop was called Walters (run by Mr Longley) - my mother worked there part-time in the 1960's - and the greengrocer was Thompson's.
