Uxbridge 1950s
A Memory of Uxbridge.
Loved coming to Uxbridge every fortnight Saturday or Sunday to meet my schoolfriend who lived in Hillingdon.Much better than Harlesden which meant a tube ride or nicer still a 607 trolleybus all the way from Shepherds Bush,how I miss the trolleys.
There was a café on the corner at the front of the station open Sundays as was the café at the trolleybus terminus run by two women or at least when I was there. A good solid jukebox,records for 1955,singers long gone except Doris Day.
I recall visits to a cinema seeing THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT a very early rock n'roll film,can anybody tell me the location of the trolley terminus and the cinema which seemed close by?
I have very pleasant memories of Uxbridge

I used to live in Denham as a child and we used to walk into Uxbridge on a Saturday to spend our pocket money which I think was about 6d we used to go to a lovely sweet shop there and get lots of sweets and I think the cinema was 3d I can only remember a bus station I don't think there were trolleys in my day. The 3 cinemas there were the Regal, the Odeon and the Savoy I now live in Windsor and we haven't got a cinema although there were 3 at one time but we have the Theatre Royal which is fantastic except a lot more expensive than the cinema but I go to Slough or Maidenhead to see the films
