Re: Hullerhirst House

https://canmore.org.uk/site/41088/stevenston-hullerhirst The old porch don’t look like that no more.. It's all very academic now, but maybe representative of the planning system then that some Cooncil body believed that that particular crime of a porch plonked onto the facade of an 18th century hou...

Re: Hullerhirst House

Walked past here this morning. This house is derelict. The roof has caved in looks like it’s fire damaged. Shame it’s a cracking looking house.

Re: Gavin's Wee Pond

Great pics. Is that highfield drive houses in the background? The area looks unrecognisable to what it is today.

Some perch too. They should have taken those to Ardeer rec pond or Eglinton loch. I’d like to think they didn’t just let them perish.

Re: Fishing Mill Dam

I see the Mill Glen has now been drained and the fish relocated to the Busbie. Sad times.

Re: Granvue Stadium Dog Track - Stevenston

The bookies were at the back of the stand against the corrugated wall. At least they were when my Dad's dog "Queqeg" raced there. He was a big brindle dog with ears which went vertical when he heard the hare - those ears made him instantly recognisable! How many bookies were there? And we...

Re: Stevenston gassworks.

What was on the site where James frew/gasure is when this pic was taken? 0802, It's quite an interesting pic from the early 90's. If you look near to the upper left area you'll see a rather large apex roofed building. That building is still there and is actually a part of the James Frew/ Gas Sure p...
