Eglinton School Photo C1954

[Hughie]

This was my class but myself and my two pals Billy Adams and James McCall are missing. I was probably sick or in Seafield Hospital in Ayr - had awful bad tonsils at that time. I certainly know all the faces, but the names escape me. I'll patch up the photo and put it in the School photos at https://www.threetowners.com

Photo courtesy of Molly Fleming in West Australia


Back row L to R: James MacDonald, Ronnie Morris, Dougla Thomson, ?, Billie McKinnie, Kenneth Cadenhead?, Jim Watt, ?, John Clark, George Johnston, ?, Jim Armstrong, Ian McCallum.

Sorry for the late reply Harry. That's definitely Jim Watt he lived at the Kirkhall Drive end of Beggs Terrace and yes that is Dougie Thomson too.

Hi Harry, George Fleming, is a friend of mine knew his family well.
George did his apprenticeship with the ICI, had a brother called Ian and one called Bobby. there is a Photo of George in the recollection page,

Hi sarah thanks for your response I think bobby lived on glasgow st. I think george might have been an older brother bobby was about 2 years older than me but he was a friend of b. stewart ardrossan and I hung out with them in my youth I also remember Ian tait from hill street I think my cousin James Steel lived at the top of winton st. next to the football ground bye for now .
