I attended Chatsworth and then Twickenham County ,was a member of Hounslow swimming club . As Hounslow Baths were closed in the winter months the club used Heston Baths and we always stopped at Rossi’s in Lampton Road on the way home. The best ice cream in the world. I too remember Edmunds but was there a shop called Abernathys that sold sports wear? I remember a hairdressers in Bell Rd ...see more
Lampton park was my playground up to age 9. In late spring I raided the crab apple trees and kept an eye open for Shorty the park keeper. Also raided the pond for newts.
The swimming baths were opposite the Town Hall. And the library. Had to have swimming lessons there via Grove Rd School. (60s) Diane nee Underhill
