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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamlet Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
