I "worked" in the stables with Wullie Hamilton for couple of years helping out with the horses and carts and making bunches of sticks for the fire upstairs in wullies place. Dogging school as well. Loved it,

Hi I'm just doing some research for my son as he wants to trace his family tree and I have found my mums birth certificate. She was born at number 23 Glenpark Street in 1923. If anyone has a picture of that area at that time I'd really appreciate if I could get a copy please.
Cheers

Does anyone know if the stables mentioned by Norman Smith were near Bellgrove St? My grandfather stabled a horse somewhere near Bellgrove St in the 1950s/early 1960s.

Lived at 103 Glenpark St with my brothers Davie and Adam and my dad. Lovely childhood, best friend was Sadie Glass. Mum died just after I was born and I went to a nursery forget the name until I started at Haghill. Now living on the States, God help us.
