School Road And Area

A Memory of Hounslow.

I was born in School Road, just off the High Street in 1943 and lived there till 1968. I remember Inwood Park with the boating lake and the paddle boats. The paddling pool, the tennis courts and the playground. I worked for four years in Platts wallpaper & paint dept., then for United Daries before taking a job at London Heathrow. I attended Hounslow Town School then Bulstrode Boy's School. I remember the fish & chips at Rainbows fish shop on the Hanworth Road. Poultons toy shop, Lawsons the chemist, Loves tool shop and the Odeon Cinema for Saturday morning pictures. Not to mention Swifts Ally for those brave enough to go down it on roller skates.
