Thanks for the photos Bobbydarg, brought back a few good memories for me
I went to Auchenharvie house from the age of 13 to 15, there was some kind of trial
they took a couple of girls out of each school in the 3 towns, it was for domestic science.
we also did a lot of work in the garden, under Mr McNaught's watchful eye' I really look back
on them 2 years as the best education I had, learned how to jive, swear, smoke, and other useful thing...

Re: auchenharvie house school
I remember Auchinharvie house as a place us kids when to, to learn how to build model Aero Planes. Later on when a good bit older we went there with our motor Bikes, as that was the Club House for the Stevenson and District Motor Cycle Club. Anybody remember those days i know you will Ellen. I agree the House should have been peserved as a Historic Building. Too much of our history is lost to the Bulldoser, the old Lyric Picture House will be next, if it hasnt already happened. George

Hi there Eddie Ainsworth here I started the judo at Auchenharvie and later ran the karate club when I learned more , I was the first to travel fom Scotland to learn, and had the first Karate club in Scotland, I stepped down from judo in 2017 aged 82, I was Scotlands longest serving International Referee, I always lived in Ardrossan Road Saltcoats.
Re: auchenharvie house school
I remember your name from when I worked with Alec Gibson from Saltcoats, I know him as Sanny. we served our apprentice ship together with Isaac Cherry and he spoke about you then, telling me he learned judo from you. I think Robert McLaughlin from Stevenston did as well.
