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 by antrin 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric Arthur Blair 5,116 Report post Posted July 21 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antrin 2,383 Report post Posted July 21 1 hour ago, Eric Arthur Blair said: Storie St, 1954 My above post - wrt the Scott family - was wrong. 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hamlet 21 Report post Posted July 21 Re photo of Storie Street 1954. From the bottom left corner is the pub that was well supported by the Farmers on market days. After the pub, was that the side entrance to Priorscroft Bowling Club? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
