Memories Of Ealing

A Memory of Ealing.

I lived in Ealing from 1947 to 1968.
For 14 of these years I lived in Boileau Road.
We always had a car and a phone but did not have a television until 1955
I had several hobbies including trainspotting and used to spend a lot of time at Acton Yard.
Most of the trains on British Railways were steam, with some steam trains hauling freight on open
Sections of the underground.
At the back of our house in Boileau Road was a lane called Hanger Vale Lane It,s still there but not the same as it was. There was a spinney with a pond on the site., the grounds of the Nuffield nursing home. This site is now occupied by Thackeray Court.
