Southall Memories

A Memory of Southall.

I lived in the flats in Dudley Road Southall and went to Featherstone Rd Infants, my name is Jack Stevens and we moved to 76 Greenford Ave and I went to Tudor Rd school and then Dormers Wells school. I married Yvonne Killick from Dane Rd southall and now live in Lincolnshire.
My mates were Roy Rogers, Micky Sandford, Jakie and Billy Blair we all went to Dormers Wells school and hung around the Spikes bdridge area with Allen Morrison, Clifford Webb and few others.
I worked at St Bernards Hospital in the maintenance dept and Hygrade Cardboard Boxes in Hanwell also I worked for A B Hasons builders in Dudley before I married and we then moved to Northolt.

Hello Jack I was born in Dudley road flats in 1947 went to infant school at top of road and years later went to Dormers Wells School. The names you mentioned feel very familiar to me and I am sure our parents obviously knew each other. Funnily enough I also worked at St. Bernards Hospital in the maintenance department - as did my Dad Charlie Barton.
Would love to know if you remember me or my family

Hi Michael, we were childhood friends and then later both worked at St Bernards and as for your dad Charlie he was a great guy and I got on with him well. I worked with the plasterer Fred, Allen Morrrison was with the fitter George Scrimshaw, Terry Wilkins was with the bricklayers. And we all had tea and Bostic sandwiches (cheese on toast) in our small canteen, overalls were issued clean each Monday morning and we all had donkey jackets. Remember Dummy the inmate who used to make door mates and burglar bill with the pigs swill gang we used to by watches off and hiding in the cellars beneath the hospital and chatting up nurses. Where are you in the UK now Michael or are you still in the Southall area ?. my email is
