1960's Memories
A Memory of Perivale.
I was born in Perivale Maternity hospital in 1961 and lived at 194 Bilton Road until 1980, when I got married in St. Nicholas Church Wadsworth Road and moved to 97 Bilton Road. I remember getting my pocket money every Saturday and going into Martins to get my copy of Whizzer and Chips mag and penny sweets. Occasionally I would get my dad's cigarettes for him out of the machine on Martins side wall. My sister and I, both went to Perivale Junior School and the headmistress at the time was a Mrs Weston. During the winter, if we had snow we would take our sledges up to Horsenden Hill. My mum contined to live in Perivale until 2006 which is the last time I visited the area. It has changed so much since I grew up there in the 1960's.

Comments & Feedback
I was born in 1962 and lived in Perivale (near the bridge over the highway and shops) for 2 years from 7-9yrs (1969-70) before coming back to Australia. I have strong memories of my local primary school which was a shortish walking distance from home but can find no photographs of any schools in the area during those years. Can you help?
cheers
