Childhood Memories Of Kenton
A Memory of Kenton.
I was born in 1941 and lived in Ilmington Road until the age of 7 when we moved down the road to Donnington Road to a house my father (a builder who built a fair amount of Kenton) built during the war. He was told that if someone didn’t move In then it would be repossessed , needless to say we moved in. Our house was backing onto the park and on the corner next to what became St Gregorys School. Looking at the photos brings back such good memories. My sister had her wedding reception at the Rest Hotel and when I got married in 1964 I lived in Becmead Avenue. I also remember Sainsbury’s and half a shoulder of lamb for 10 shillings, how things have changed. Down the road from the hotel going towards Kingsbury was a dress shop from which over the years I was the proud owner of many a lovely dress.
