Hi Jimmy :D

Fantastic photos! thank you, son!
Do any of them have dates of when they were taken? or names of people?
The bottom one of Greenlees looks like early 1900s going by the style of the shopgirls'(?) clothes....and do you see the prices! :shock: :lol:

Great stuff Jimmy, thanks again!

Catherine

Can't say I do Jimmy, it was a long time ago. If people were a couple of classes above or below you, you tended in general not to know them unless they lived near you.

I've managed to recover the above images and some others that had been branded and spoiled by photobucket. See here. I have no dates for these photos. They were all taken in Ardrossan with the exception of the two shops which were in Saltcoats.
