A Memory of Osterley.

I moved to Osterley from Hounslow in 1969 aged 5.
Earliest memories include Mrs Thomas's sweet shop, the greengrocer shop and the fish van that I had to buy cheap fish from for our 2 cats. Riveting stuff eh?!
Spent many happy hours playing in Jersey (rock) Gardens and visited there earlier this year. Not a lot had changed although the tennis courts were in a terrible state(and we wonder why we can't produce a decent tennis player in this country!).
I worked evenings at Peter Donohue's Off-Licence when I was about 15 and lived and worked in Ostereley Park in my early twenties.
I could go on for ages with memories, but would rather hear from other people about their experiences of living in what I always thought of as a unique, quiet village amongst the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area.
