I was born and lived in Kilburn for the first 30 odd years of my life around this area .I am 80 now ,what memories these pictures bring back especially the pie and mash shop as grandad used to send me there to bring his dinner home between two plates ,no plastic containers in those days also with a jug of liquor. I also remember going to a jazz club in the late 50s which was upstairs in the old Canterbury arms on Sunday lunch times .I have lived all over the world since those days but I have never forgotten my home town .thank you so much for sharing those photos and memories .Bill Stevens now living in spain
Hi William. This is my childhood too. Regarding the hall above the Cant, it was used as a tap dancing school on a Saturday morning for a while. I loved it.
What a great Video, I have watched it 2 consecutive times, Loved it . I'm homesick now. Thats where I grew up, lived on Chichester Rd for many years. What wonderful memories ! Went to Salusbury Rd School. Going to watch the video again.....Thank you so much for posting.
I was born and grew up in Malvern Road and went to St John's COE late 1950. My Dad lived in William Dunbar House until he passed away in 1985. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, they were happy times. (nee) Greenfield

Hi Donna, I remember you and your Nan Elsie of course. Your mum is Pat, and your Auntie Joan and I were friends from our school days and ever since but haven't heard from Joan for the last Three Christmases. Would love to know. how everyone is
oh how lovely to hear from someone who knows my family,,,,, I haven't heard from Joanie since Xmas 2012,,, Lorraine was living with me for a while,,, she lost her flat in caltin house,,,and aunty Joanie sent me a box of chocs,,,,,, Lorraine ended up living in bore ham wood with her man in 2013,,,, haven't seen her since,,,,,, my mum and dad are doing fine,,, we have to get together and chat as I am intrigued by my nan Elsie who passed away when I was 18,,,,, I want to know more about her,,,,,thanks Lena,,,, x
Hi Donna. Thanks for your reply. How are you, and are you and your mum still in London. We are still here in the same block. I just wondered if Joan had moved from Cheshunt ? How's Jeff ..do you see him. I wondered what had happened to Lorraine. Used to see her a lot. Maureen lived near my Brother at Greenford but has since moved. Anyway, your nan was quite a character, she was lovely and she would often sing Joan and I all the old songs. We used to go to parties at Ed's sisters house down the Chippenham Road. I sometimes stayed overnight if Joan and I had a late night out. Take care for now...Love Lena
I was born at 57 Canterbury Road and moved to 2 Alpha House when I was about 2. I even recognise some of the peoples names that have left comments. Great childhood memories.
My Nanna lived in one of those three storey houses on Albert Road, back in the 1920s! Thank you for the video, we had never seen an image of the houses before.
Lived at Kilburn House, Malvern Place & went to Percy Rd school (1947-53). Am still in touch with two old schoolmates, John Conroy & Tom Ashmore. Wouldn't call my Kilburn time 'happy days,' too much deprivation, as evident in some of pics here. But there are some good memories.
yes Lena I've spoke to mum and she would love to see you in the new year,,,,, I will get back to you with a date that suits you and us,,,, see you then have a great Xmas and new year xxxx
They could have built houses where the flats were built if it was thought out properly. High rise flats don't look good and aren't nice for people to live in.
I grew up in the top end of Denmark Road from birth until 1957 when they started to move everyone out to make way for the flats. We moved to the North Circular Road, Stonebridge Park and we thought it was the countryside because it had a grass verge between our house and the A406 lol. It all looks so gloomy now but I loved it. Manze's on a Saturday lunchtime. Apparently, Brian Conley grew up in Carlton House, the 'new' flats at the bottom of Albert and Denmark. Washing lines hanging from upstairs flats across the courtyards. Those were the days.
@@stixkubwa hi there, only just noticed your reply. I used to live at 102 - in between the Kelly's and the O'connor. I remember nearly everyone at our end and some from the middle. We used to get free rides on the buses sometimes if the conductor allowed it. I nearly got runover by a bus as I tripped on the cobbles and the bus stopped inches from my face.
