Life In 1940/50

A Memory of Hounslow.

Actually, I don't have memories myself as I was not born then but my mother in law who is 80 in January, lived in Bath Road, Hounslow in the 1940's & 50's. We are looking for photos and memories for a 'This is Your Life' book we are making for her birthday. If anyone can help that would be wonderful. She went to Alexandra School and Bulstrode School Hounslow.
Many thanks.

How I wish I had found this page years ago while my Mum was still with us as she would have been around the same age as your Mother-in-law. She grew up in Montague Road, her parents had a cafe/fish and chips shop in Cranford. Mum went to Alexandra School, Miss Richards was the headmistress - I will never forget that as I attended Alexandra and Miss Richards was still headmistress in the early 60’s. I was born at 20 Vine Place in 1957, my sister and two brothers also born there. We migrated to Australia in 1968 and have never been back. I have seen my home though, Google Street View has a photo of it.
