I have uncovered that my grandparents lived in 3 Bridge Street, Milton Regis (unfortunately that address no longer exists). I never knew them but granddad died at that address in 1949 aged 71.
The car on the opposite side of the road to the Clearview garage was my dad's Triumph Renown. And I can't quite see what the signs say on the cafe next door but one to my house but I remember it as Molly's Cafe - a transport cafe. My neighbour Mrs Nice used to put some of the lorry drivers up in her spare bedroom when the cafe was full. I remember seeing lorries parked at the back of the cafe from my bedroom window when they stopped overnight.
I was born there and spent my early years in Campbell Road.
Back in those days there was a farm in the middle of the village, the Plas, and cows were kept in the field which were taken for milking to the old cowsheds then in Kings Road leading up to the Church!
There were many shops as one walked around the village,, in Kings Road an ironmongers and an ice cream parlor called Karrera's and a shop run ...see more

My wife's uncle arrived in Roseneath, Scotland in September of 1942 to train for the invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch), which took place on November 8 of that year. He was with the US Army's First Infantry Division. His detailed diary tells of practicing beach landings at Roseneath and Dunoon, and street fighting at Innelan. He was very complimentary of the way the people treated him and his fellow soldiers.
I lived in Leamington Ave from 1936 - 1956 with my parents who selected the new house for its long south facing garden which backed onto Hillcross School field.

Just out of the picture to the right, was the Post Office run by the lovely Miss Townsend. With hair buns on her ears, she was all smiles when you deposited money into your Post Office savings account, but if you asked for a withdrawal, you had a lecture on the national economy!

I recently went back for a nostalgic look at the area I came from and wondered if anyone knows if and when Southall Working Men's Club changed address.
I used to go there when I was young as my dad Charlie Hayes was president there for a long time, I think in the 50's and 60's. Fred Ketley was also a name I remember - he could have been treasurer.

I was born at "Elmwood" in the village in 1941 and remember the tree on the corner, the 175 bus used to give it a wide berth to get round the corner. It was a huge tree with bricks inside to hold it together. Looking at pictures of the village today, it has changed a lot, my grandparents, the dePonts, lived in the cottages called Elizabeth row. I now reside in Queensland and am 74 and retired. John Kilby
I used to sit in the window seat ,very excited as i waited for the 6-30pm bus to arrive from Bircotes hoping it would stop across the road.Hopefully the first person off the bus would be my boyfriend John.
He would join me in the Wimpy Bar and here we would drink cokes and listen to the juke box until the 9pm curfew when i had to be home,or else !!
Those magic nights bring back fond memories of young love ,which turned into an everlasting love as we approach our 48th wedding anniversary.

Hi Nita, I remember your uncle! My Dad was in both Northfleet and Gravesend bands and they regularly had 'socials'. Your uncle, Albert Card, was often the Master of Ceremonies (MC) at these 'do's'. He was a very smart, dapper man with a great personality. I was only a small girl, but he made a huge impression on me. He was in Gravesend Band and there is a cartoon of him on their website.
Google 'Gravesend Borough Band' and look at the photos. Thank you for the lovely memory. Dee

In the early 1960's it was there and I did once or twice have a ride on it- It ran on the West side of the lake and the old engine shed is still there, I believe.

The garage on the right hand side of photo had a Spitfire on its forecourt it was quite surreal think the man who owned it was called Bunny (?)
We cycled everywhere during the war, and on, ,till there was more petrol for everyday use, and people bought cars again. The picture could well be of me! I think that the queue for the bus was outside the baker's shop, and perhaps the photographer was standing in front of the cinema?
