I lived at 25 or 26 Kilburn house my name is Tony I loved the Bay City Rollers and a Scottish family from Glasgow I think lived upstairs and my friend Scott gave me a Bay City Rollers bag …..his brother jimmy was older …..we played football out in the back forecourt or yard before the school was built at the rear ….endless summers wandering around the block with a 2p bag of crisps ….wonder whatever happened to my Wee Scottish friend called Scott we were both about six years old then.

I went to Geneva House School until about 1961. I remember Miss Wynbush and ms Payne and I think the English teacher was called Mrs or Miss Pugh. My best friend was Lois Trerise, we also used to hang out with Anita March and Chris Turner. It was a happy time. I lived in Kingsbury and it was only because my bestie had gone there that my Mum thought it would be nice if I went there too. Good memories.

I went to the school when I was about 4 or 5, it was situated near Exeter road, near Kilburn Underground Station on Shoot up Hill. My memory is a bit vague but it closed down & they built Telephone House on the site, this must have been the the mid 1950s. I went to Beckford School for a while then back to Geneva House which was now sited near Cricklewood Broadway. I remember Miss Windbush, ...see more
