The Coronation

A Memory of Uxbridge.

I was only 3 years old and we lived in Elthorne Rd just across the street from The Militia Canteen on the corner of Villier St. I do remember the flags and bunting draped across the front of the buildingl and the coronation childrens party that was in the old Drill Hall round the corner in Whitehall Rd.. I remember this especially as we were served jelly in little frilly waxpaper dishes and it was green jelly...my unfavourite then and now!!

We also lived at 31 Elthorne road opposite Villiers street, from about 1955, I don't remember the artillery hall, we had the Militia canteen pub on one corner,and Griffiths the grocers shop on the other, it was a lovely quiet road with hardly any cars, there was another pub in Villiers street which may have been called the load of hay .
