Yes george, I remember Radio Luxemburg - everybody listened to the Top Tewnty on a Sunday night. My recollections are of Johnny Ray and Frankie Lane always being up at the top. Then Teresa Brewer came along and many others as Rock 'n' Roll took over. I also remember them extending their broadcasts ...

I remember Top of the Pops, but before that we had Radio Luxenburghs TOP TWENTY, brought to you by {arid cream deoderant and the makers of Carters little liver pills} ring any bells or i am i older than everybody?

I noticed tonight when walking over Glasgow Street Bridge, which the Caley line passed under, that letters reading BRB LAR2 had been newly painted on the bridge. Hi Mitchy, Then I imagine that would make the Galloway Burn BRB LAR4 :o Good one Hugh! But isnt the galloway burn bridge an Aqueduct? So ...

Hi meg nice to hear from you, I think Tommy may have taken over after my Grandfather retiered, i`m not sure when that was but he died in 1956 and at that time he was living in Barry terrace, From what i remember it was for us town kids, quite an adventure to go to the country to visit the Filter hou...

Thanks Tom for pointing me in the right direction,to the identity of the figures on the memorial. By the way i am very impressed with your photos, Dead good brilliant, I had a good scan through them, so many brought back memories, but so much has changed.

Last year while back in Scotland i met a guy in Aldos Pub and we got to talking about historical things in Ardrossan, He mentioned the war Memorial at South beach,and that there were six figures carved on the Celtic Cross, He though two of them were Bruce, and Wallace.Above this he again though was ...

I remember wirking there in the 1970's with a decorating firm abnd you had fags etc taken off you. m Hi Martiboy, It isn't closed, but ICI no longer run the place....

Would love a haddock from the Plaza or Maroneys both at the top of Glasgow Street in Ardrossan. I always thought Reids in Stevenston at the Grange brae was a wee bit over rated though my wife being from Stevenston disagees. My personal favourite was Maroneys fish and the Plazas chips. Though for bl...

You mention a furniture auction room. Would that be the room referred to in the book 'In a Marmalade Saloon'? In the book the main character and his friend take a furniture item from an auction room in Ardrossan to West Kilbride. I believe that it was. The time I recall it being a furniture auction...

Hi George the only other cuddy dealer I know of was Jimmy and Alex White from Saltcoats . Hi Harry wrong again. The Cuddy park i know was on the right hand side on the road to Ardeer Factory. Way back in the dark ages when the Achenharvie coal field was at its peak 1780-1800. it was a big Colliery ...

In Saltcoats the Cuddy Park was off Gladstone Road behind Gamble's shop. The now disused GPO/ British Telecom building was built on the site. One of my earliest memories is of crossing a wall from the garden behind my grannie's house on Raise Street (no 69 I think) into the Cuddy Park. Scott McCall...
