Jock's Lodge

Post by Penny Tray »

Jock's Lodge, Glasgow Street, Ardrossan, has been mentioned in another topic today. A very good image of the premises is included in the following series of photographs.

The link is a 'must view' for anyone brought up in Ardrossan in the 1950s or 60s. Memories!

Brilliant! In the photo of Jock's Lodge, the close between there and what was Ezzie's cafe was called the "Buff Close" by my relatives who lived there. One of the attics through there was where dad and mum started their marriage life together. Mum's Cunningham relatives lived above Ezzie's cafe and my brother and I used to head up there after the Lyric's Saturday matinee on the way home - if we weren't skelping our backsides and galloping up the Cannon Hill. :wink: :roll:

I really loved seeing these photographs as they did indeed bring back memories. Getting a penny single fag in Ezzies, my traipsing from the Co-op fish shop round past the Bute Bar to the back gate of the town railway station with an old railway bogie with the overnight delivery of fish from Bookless Bros in Aberdeen. Then the only way to eat cod was as a cod steak as the cod themselves were so big.
