I also lived on sutton lane estate Wesley avenue no 79

I lived in Prospect Close just off Sutton Lane and went to Wellington Primary School until I was eight in 1954.
We used to go to the Putting Green in Lampton Park
and swimming at Hounslow Baths.

I lived on Moulton Avenue. Lampton park was where we went, caught newts in the pond, did the putting green, pinched crabapples when Shorty the park keeper wasnt around. Did the annual sports. We would take a bottle of water and jam sandwiches and spend all day in Lampton Park. No parent would let their children do that now. Acorns, conkers, you name it. Alan Benfell

Regarding Lampton Park annual sports, my aunt, Dorothy Jackson used to judge at this event (which I also ran in, in the 100 yards and 4 x 100 relay. She was an ex international athlete and eventually headmistress of a girls scholl.
