Ealing Grammar In The Good Old Days
My family returned emergently to Ealing, from the U.S., in late 1969. We lived with my widowed grandfather in North Ealing and I was sent to school at Ealing Grammar. As we were not sure how long we would be staying, the headmaster, Mr. Hartwell, agreed to let me go to school in street clothes. So, for three months, I was the only boy allowed to wear regular clothes. The school had barely changed from this earlier photo, but was a fabulous place to get an education, for which I shall always be grateful. Posted: 11/12/2008 18:10 by Michael Gross |

The Mall
I used to work at Burnside high class stationeries which was opposite where this photo was taken. Opposite Burnsides was the National Provisinal Bank where there was a suspected bank raid all the detetives were dressed as window cleaners and odd job men , at the time I was dressing one of the front windows when a detective came up to me and told me to keep quite and he would help me with the window which he did, but at the same time he was keeping an eye on the men who was going to do the raid. The police caught them as they were entering the bank. Posted: 05/12/2006 16:41 by Chris Brown |
