Re: Saltcoats Secondary School : prizelist 1967

Re: Saltcoats - On This Day In History
Meekan, I left this topic in case 'douglaslsutherland' wanted to come back in. Constable Jimmy Lawson, who lived in a 'police house' at 59 Corrie Crescent, did move to either Lambie Court or O'connor Court when he retired. Incidentally, I don't think he was ever Sergeant Lawson. He had all his promo...

Re: Not the THREETOWNS but close
Eventually the mine and quarry owners were obliged to store their explosives on-site in secure explosives stores. The last of these in the Threetowns was, I think, at the Lochwood Mine situated between Saltcoats and Stevenston. During the tensions in Northern Ireland it was routine for the police to...

Re: Home for a while.
John, I had a look to see if I had ever posted anything about "157 Glasgow Street" and the only thing is the following article. You may know nothing about it, but it might give you something to talk about on your travels. CASUALTY OF WAR 2 DECEMBER 1917 Died at sea on S.S. COPELAND, ROBERT...
