Xmas In Hanwell In The Sixties.
A Memory of Hanwell.
Xmas started Xmas eve. Everybody went to the pub at lunchtime and it was serious drinking. I worked in Turriff House on the Geat West Road and the pub was the Kings Arms by Brentford railway station. Around closing time we headed back to work and had a coffee before being told to go home. On Xmas day there was sometimes a party and I remember getting home around one oclock unable to eat Xmas dinner. In the evening it was tv that dominated. Boxing day lunch time was spent at the FOX in Green Lane as was the evening. It can be seen the pub was very much the centre of celebrations, and LES and JOYCE were landlord and lady.
