The shop where I got my Beezer (Mon), Dandy (Tue), Beano (Thu), Topper (Fri) and hunners o ither things...

 

Niice colouration,  though my memory of these buildings was GREY not pretty pink/red stones...

Definitely the tall building was VERY grey.

Was it the Topper that had Colonel Blink , the short-sighted gink and Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller ?

Blink was the Beezer.

And, had to look up Nancy before I recognised her, but she WAS in the Topper.

Amazing memory. It's so pleasing to know that even at your age, you could remember how Google worked. [emoji23]

Great photo. Spent Primary six and seven in these building.

On the right hand side but just out of the picture there was a row of tenements, the name

of the Brae evades me  where George McLean stayed. He was at the time of his transfer along Paisley Road West

the highest transfer fee between two Scottish clubs at £28,000.00.
