Yes, I am sure that's the corner where the Melbourne is. I think that's the old church wall opposite. Campbell

Old Ardrossan

I'd put off working through my late brothers wee photo box but did it this morning. Inside I found these old postcards. A few aren't postmarked so I've no idea of the year, the ones that are I've typed the details in. Campbell

A lot of nostalgia for me as my uncle and grandfather worked for British Rail. My uncle was a driver on steam then diesel engines and I still remember the distinct smell o...
