A couple of old photos

by Patrick Gavin
  • My dad and some of our neighbours.
  • Keltyhill Avenue around 1950

I got these photos from my mother many years ago. We like many other families moved from Naysmith Place to the new houses in Keltyhill Ave in the late 40's. Some of your readers may recognise a face or two.

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
