Born And Bred In Greenford 1951 1968

A Memory of Greenford.

I started life in Kings Avenue Greenford, went through my schooling at; Bethams, Stanhope Junior then Stanhope senior boys. I remember spending 6d of chips at the fish and chip shop on Greenford Road almost opposite the Red Lion. Always spent Saturday mornings at the Granada cinema, the organ and the prizes if you had a piece of string or a pencil or whatever. The Bunny Park was a favourite place as was the surrounding parkland, my parents didn't have a lot of money but they would make day coach tours to the coast from Valiant coaches which had a shop on Ruislip Road.
