Re: Stevenston gassworks.

I was born in Gasworks Close in 1944. The gasometers were at the end of the close and I used to play at them, a bit smelly. It was between Maxwell the dentist and Harry Donnelly's sweetie shop. There was also a blacksmith(smiddy) in the close, my granda worked there for a while. I remember mum tell...

Re: QUEEN ELIZABETH II

Am I missing something, or can anyone point me, anywhere in the world, to a television channel, radio station, daily newspaper, weekly magazine, or social media site, other than Threetowners, which, a fortnight after the event, hasn't mentioned the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II? PT, I d...
