Happy Days

A Memory of Uxbridge.

All those fond memories of Greenway School after Oak Farm in Hillingdon followed by nursing at Hillingdon Hospital. Do you remember the shop in Cross St "Bewitched" selling fancy glass and gifts? And the smashing cooked meat rolls sold in Windsor St next to Trifari the "trendy" hairdresser. First Saturday job was in Leathercraft (owned by Chalfens the jeweller), followed by several years at Boots working with Mrs Bray and Mrs Bontoft. The Terrys Chocolate shop in the station was also a favourite for massive choc eclairs. Woolworths broken biscuits for cinema snacks and I blew all my first hospital wages in Manettas. Opposite was Lynettes dress shop, which was cheaper. Can anyone remember the name of the Hall in Park Road we used for concerts? Swimming at Ubridge pool everyday on a 15 shilling season ticket. Later in the 80's I helped run the pool with other volunteers.
