Hi Peter &
Dora,
Just a line hoping to find you both well, I wondered if you would like
to update
your data on greet Road as My Mother and Father took the shop over
in 1939 and
opened up as a Dining Rooms and they closed it in the fifties
they served the
local community with breakfasts dinners and suppers through
out the war years.
How many people remember the big bonfire in the middle of
the road between
Bedford Road & Greet Road it actually burnt a hole in
the road. LOL.
Best Regards
Betty

Hi Peter
A little more information, when Peter's Butler's sister Sue
Young gave the shop up a fellow and his wife and two children took it over,
Their names were Len and Audrey Davey, Thelma worked for them ex hours a week
and I also used to help them out and would go to Cash and carry with him to help
buy the stock for the shop, I do not know where they moved to though once Good
Old Brentford was in for this Face lift I am not quiet sure that it was the face
lift people wanted to see as time as gone by. But there we can not change the
situation now. We had Brentford when it was a good working town also a better
shopping place than it is today. As some would say they were the Good Old Days
or days gone by.
Best Regards Betty

Hi Pete.
I knew Joyce and her Family very well, my mother and father had
the dining rooms from 1939
plus the house also it came under 64 greet road next to Mr & Mrs
burch who used to be the
sides man at St Georges Church, Also I knew your Mother, you lived in
the row of houses just
past Davis's Garage, you had Marsh's Stores on the corner of George road
and on the top end
of Netley with Ealing Road you had Wendy the ladies hairdresser, Proto's
just across the way
The other End of Netley road at the Junction with Clayponds lane you had
Draper's store's
provisions and Nunns the butcher I hope this is a little more help on
the information of Brentford.
There was relations of Rowes the green grocers living in greet road as
well, also there was Mr
& Mrs Collins who lived at no 50 who's Son Melvin is a councillor
and Deputy mayor for hounslow

who had three lovely
children, 2 sons and 1 Daughter.
Best Regards
Mrs Batty (nee Betty Harmer)
