Barnes definitely was a nice
area. Even though I only lived there for a relatively short period of time,
I did get a good impression. Very nice to go jogging along the Thames. Too
bad Hammersmith Bridge was only open for busses, hence you had to make a
detour to get to Barnes when coming from the north - should be open by now..

Lived in Barnes 1953 to 1964
and couldn't wait to get out to London proper. (Have you noticed how enclosed
Barnes is?) The awful jams on the No. 9 bus en route to school in Hammersmith,
the cinema closed down, then the choice between bus,and tube (oh the delays
on the Metropolitan Line) to work or the hike across the common for the
SR to Waterloo and then the crush on the Drain and the long trek up to Bank
Station before they put in the Travolator. No, it was neither country nor
town though it might as well have been the former for the length of time
it took from door to door. Oh and by the way Castelnau was called Castelnau
all the time I lived in Barnes, Bridge Road was as I recall just the last
bit before the Bridge. And the last time I passed by, the Boileau Arms had
become a curry house! and most of the big houses along the road seem to
have been carved up into flats. Still, it looks pretty (is the Common safe
yet?) and there were wonderful blackberrying days............ |

Just discovered this site. I
lived in Barnes from 1954 to 1980 when I moved to Hampton. I lived in Everdon
Rd on the old council estate and went to Lowther Primary school and then
Shene Grammar. The Sun Inn was my first pub and I always make sure to pop
in for a pint when I am back in the UK. I used to work Sundays in the "Can
Can" coffee bar on the High Street in the very early 70's. I would love
to hear from anybody who remembers me or my family. Barnes will always be
the home in my heart. |

I had two of my relatives born
in Barnes
It lists the address as New road Barnes,
but I cannot find this road on a map. So
I wondered if it had been changed.Maybe
Sacrificed for a Highway.The birth dates
were 1873 and 1879 |

Was looking for information
on my Ancestors. I have Thomas Barnes, born around 1636 somewhere in England.
He came across on the Speedwell in 1656. |

Being an born and bred Barnesite
now living in Staffordshire it is really nice to read about Barnes. I have
many tales to tell of my happy life in Barnes so if you need any blasts
from the past please contact me, many of them amusing. It would also be
nice to know if any of my old school friends still live in Barnes. I went
to Mortlake County Girls School, Hertford Avenue in the 50's. |

I worked as a Nanny in three
different houses on Castelnau in 1996-97. I lived with Liz Light and she
was involved with the BCA. I found Barnes to be a wonderful place to live
in and coming from such a young country I found it full of history. I loved
walking around Barnes (because it was so flat) and seeing all the beautiful
old buildings. I hope to come back and visit London next year and Barnes
will be the first place I will visit. |
