Slarti Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Looks to me as if pic been taken from Stow St [emoji991]That was my thinking too but that corner shop is number 68 and the Afton Bar is number 70, so I guess it is Canal Street. Unless things have been renumbered since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop shown (that was on the left, here) was Finlay's (a garden-centre type place did canes, nets etc) There was a good image of it posted earlier in this thread.

ALBIONSAINT Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 The cottage arms. Now a spar or something. I remember the wee room you had to go into if you wanted a carry out. How times have changed, 3 aisles of the supermarket devoted to booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First "illegal" carry out from that "wee room", they weren't that fussed what age you were. The result was me being sick at the Racecourse, getting hammered by my mother and a hangover from hell the next day. Put me off drink...........................for a week or two.

Did castle street not have some houses with thatched roofs? I know tannahills cottage had a thatched roof but thought some buildings in castle street did also, my memory could be playing tricks though.
