Re: Mobile shops

I remember my mother had eggs delivered by a Mr. Reilly. And also coal and briquettes in the days of coal fires, but I can't remember the name of the man who delivered them.

Re: Stevenston - On This Day In History

Thanks PT. Your knowledge of this tragedy Is admirable. Obviously the poor souls who suffered in that place, including my father, had no other choice of employment at that time. Or were the employees paid a lot extra because they were doing a dangerous job? Were they aware of the dangers?After so ma...

Re: Stevenston - On This Day In History

Glenshena, The honest answer to that question is, I don't know. I only post what I stumble across when I read 'old' newspapers, and there are many publications still unread. Tomorrow, for example, I have a fatality to report from 13 March 1970, and another one the following day, from 14 March 1970 ...

Re: What's the latest movie you've seen?

Just sat through Oppenheimer - that’s 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back. If you haven’t seen it, don’t rush. Meg Well Meg, I haven't seen It but according to the rest of the world its the best picture ever, winning 6 or 7 oscars. I'm tempted, but I couldn't sit for three hours to watch a movie.

Dont know what It looks likes inside, but they could have improved the exterior which Is badly scraped. I dont think there Is a fish and chip shop left now on the whole of Countess street a...

Re: A Stroll round 1960s Saltcoats

Its sad to read all these articles on the shops in Hamilton street that I knew so well, grew up with. There wasn't an empty shop in the whole street. What a difference now. Hamilton street Is full of pulled down shutters, and now the double windows of the closed sports shops is a real miss to the st...
