HSS Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 13 hours ago, Eric Arthur Blair said: Abbey St leading onto Cotton St. That looks like a J&M Taylor lorry entering the Building Site.They are still based in Wallace St and have a vintage lorry on display in their premises. Also a Cunninghams bus in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C. Mibbe ..... three daughters, IIRC. Isabel, Fiona and... the boyhood memory fades. Just a room and kitchen was about the size of it. Shared lavvie oot the back, next to the cattle market... Ah... the nostalgia for such a glamorous age! they were glamorous days, much missed. Edited July 20, 2019 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Arthur Blair Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Old Sneddon St. The St. Mirren bar is now the Argyll bar. The Abercorn Bar, in the distance, later became the St. Mirren Bar and is now a DIY store. It looks like there is another bar beside The Metropolis.

They lived above that Corrigan's shop. The wee 'kirk', slightly set back on the rhs beyond the windae-shopping man, were supplementary halls for the Orr Square kirk (just showing at the top of the hill). The halls hosted 23rd BB and Lifeboys. Think there were also Girl Guides, too. And they did Sunday schools in there, too. Big hall doonstairs and wee yin upstairs.
