Hi folks, great pictures here and a few which I think originated in our albums at http://westlondonchat.com/photos



Would love it if those of you who have pix of any part of West London would be kind enough to share them in our albums.



Many thanks,



Josh.

In 1950 Hayes had at least 3 Cycle Speedway Clubs, the Hayes Broadsiders who had a track in Hayes Townhall Park, The Hayes Meteors whose track was in North Hyde Rd. in a field behind Waterslash Lane and right next to the River Crane. The third club whose name I have forgoten, I think was centered in the Bourne Avenue area. All the Clubs participated in the Thames Valley League that covered south west Middlesex and north Surrey. The bikes had no brakes, the competition was fierce and crashes were frequent. Teams and their bikes travelled to away matches in furniture vans, no H&S then. Tracks were mostly built by the local youth themselves on any piece of spare land they could get their hands on, it didn't seem to be too much of a problem then.

Just joined. Interesting group. Born and in Hayes from 1959 to 1981 and I'm particularly interested in the industrial/transport heritage of the town. One of the old photos in the main Britain from above site of Hayes Station taken in 1930 clearly shows the old parcels/goods shed right alongside the railway station (the shed is the large light coloured building in the photo). But it also shows another 3 or 4 lines of sidings running to the right of the shed where the sidings appeared to run right up to edge of Station Approach itself. Some time in the mid-to late1960s they built a white coloured two storey block comprising shops and a laundrette with flats above, where the end of the sidings would have been (this block has been recently demolished). I have a vague memory, as a boy, of being able to see wagons and things parked up from station approach (or at least the old rusting siding tracks) before that 60s building went up. But I am not sure if my memory is playing tricks, those sidings may have disappeared long before I was born. Does anyone recall being able to see them in the 50s or early 60s?

Hi All,



I grew up in North Hillingdon back in the 1960's and wondered if anybody had any old photographs of any of the Police Boxes that stood in our area (Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Hayes, Cowley,Southall, etc) That they could share please?

The only two I have is the Hayes Town Photo and this one taken at Hillingdon Circus back in 1950.



Many Thanks,



Pete

Hayes End 1950,s

Hi



Lived in Hayes till I got married in 1977 - delighted to see photos of Hunter's Grove development aka The Railway Estate. That's where I lived!!

I lived in Heston from 1948 to 1971 on the south-eastern edge of Heston Airfield (Airport, Air Park, Aerodrome).... the intersection of the GWR and Grand Union Canal at Hayes was about the limit of my wanderings as a schoolboy.Photo from the NW boundary of this group.

Feel free to join the Hayes, Hillingdon and Uxbridge past and present facebook group:
