And some saying Craigielea school was round at blackstoun oval. Craigielea School was at the foot of Blackstoun Road just before the former railway bridge.

Brilliant photo mate. Am I right in saying you must be a year older than me? (I'm 53), as I remember a few faces in there but only one name. Margaret Warnock, ( third row, 5th in from the left),who lived downstairs from us at 2, Ferguslie Park Avenue. I thought Steven Kidd was the same age as her but he might have been a year older. Names I remember are, Pauline and Lorraine Thornley, Janice Moffat, John McKenzie, Peter McKillop, Alan Millar, Elaine McGlone. I'm not to good with the teachers names though, I can't remember Mr.Stack. I think my primary 4 teacher was Miss Morrison. She was also from New Zealand. Think we also had a Mrs.Pearson primary 3 maybe. Cheers mate Edited September 25, 2017 by Buddie Marvelous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went on holiday there and had us do a big project on the country on her return. I can still remember the maori song she taught us. Carrie Anna.

The school behind Ferguslie was St Fergus, I went there from 74-80, that used too be called the Craigielea, when they built the new school at the foot of Blackstoun road they moved the Craigielea down there and put the Catholic weans into there old school because it was across the road from St Fergus Church, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in that block were The KIDS, The Millars, The Kettles, The Wilkies, The Warnocks and The Hendersons. Years later the Warnocks moved to Barscube Terrace in Hunterhill. Let him know Alan and Fraser were asking after him mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a cracking picture of her in The Final Chapter Book in page 46 standing inside the Kenco Coffee Jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Don't know if this has been mentioned previously but I've just been sent this link about an underground pub in Paisley town centre. I'd certainly never heard of it. Interesting stuff.http://www.paisleyheritage.co.uk/troglodyte-club-terrace-tavern/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddymarvellous Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 That’s a great photo. You can see the old county buildings and jail at County Square - and it’s amazing how many houses between East End Park and Cotton Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Anyone else remember the scandal regarding councliers getting back handers to knock down the county and jail building to make room for the piaza. Was always astonished a town with a river flowing through the middle of it would be hidden by concrete, madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
