Photo ref: P304005

I born in 1955. Went to Perivale Infants and Junior schools before going to Greenford County Grammar School. I was in 6 Perivale Scouts. I still have fond memories of Justice's fish and chips, working in Empire Greengrocers, buying American comics from Martin's Newsagents and getting sweets from Lauder's shop. Bilton Road used to such a great "village high street". It's not really the case anymore. John Alexander

There were many others with just a few years in age between us. I attended Perivale Junior School my teacher was Miss Tunstall. I remember siting the 11 plus and got accepted to Ealing ...see more

Hi there ,I was born in Perivale hospital in July 1960. No longer there? I also remember flying a kite with my grandparents which was so much fun. I wonder if there is anyone out there who knew or knows a family who lived in perimede Road?surname BURNHAM?. Jeffrey burnham? Around the late 50s early 60s or a bit later? Great if anyone did and would like to share memories.

In the late '60's my mother & I had moved to Somerset. School holidays would often be spent at my Aunts house in Raynes Park. I was not 'a good traveller', at that age. I suffered very badly from motion sickness, & any journey on a bus or coach over a couple of miles was distressing. The long trip from Mid Somerset on a coach was a nightmare. The sight of the Hoover Building meant that the ordeal was nearly over, & a great relief.
