Great pic, Bob and a pair of woolworths plastic sandals too. We all had those. I wonder if they still stock them

Hi Meg

Kind of sad seeing 'our' school being demolished.

Do you, like me, have vague memories of the ruined farm there before the school was built?

C.

Oh my goodness Meg. I am very sorry to hear of Ian's passing.

My condolences to you at this difficult time.

C.

Thanks Meg. I've just PM'd you.

Meg The only reason I remember its name was when I was a 'junior' in my first job, another worker there, Una Watt (who was once runner up to Miss Scotland!) had me get her horsemeat for her dogs from All Pets every second day. Most juniors get sent for tea/coffee and sandwiches, I get to visit to a ...

You are correct Meg. They did own the pet shop next door but 'I think' it was called All Pets.

Good grief Meg A fantastic picture and great memories. I recognise (I think!), Jean Mooney, Maureen Drain, Margaret Wilson (?) and your good self all on the front row. As for the boys, that's a lot more difficult due to the shlap on our faces! I was there and I can't even see me! And, what about all...

We moved there from Eglinton I think in 1964 but not exactly sure. Lots of memories, especially the teachers. Miss Revie, Mrs Telfer and many more.

Yes Meg, I remember Fanges the cobbler's on Princes street and like you remember the family when they lived on Clyde Terrace. Wasn't there two daughters? Dorothy and Margaret? Also, I remember a cycle shop (Climies?) close to Fanges and wasn't there a gas shop right on the corner of Princes Street a...

Passed around? You posted one request and got two replies both of which indicated how you might proceed in your search. I am sure there is no local government employee registered here whose sole responsibility is to look after and know the history of local cemeteries therefore you have to rely on re...

Not boring at all, Ardrossan. You got the houses exactly right and no doubt noticed how they 'sat back' a little from the others. Something else that was mentioned to me yesterday was that MillGlen Cottages were close to (or maybe part of?) 'Cissy Anderson's' farm. Dont have a clue who she was but p...

Thanks meg I was sorry to read that Laurence had died so young and I well remember Vicky - the wee wummin always with the determined look on her face. I think they must have been releted to Frank Di Carlo and his wife Margaret who lived, I think, in St Margaret's Road. They had two sons, but I can o...
