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.

Could that be Corkers and the buildings past it have been demolished?

Aye.... causeyside from Canal Street corner.

 

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.

As a youngster I wondered about the Kilbarchan bus sign, as you can see on the red bus it states Kilbarchan but under that it states (Wheatlands). I pictured big fields full of wheat.

I had the Raleigh Tomakawk, little brother of the chopper,  got it from Dooley’s though as they had a Christmas club to pay it up.

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.

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.

Castle Street looking to Broomlands Street/ Sandholes c.1964. Underground Loo's, The Rosebud, Tannahills Dairy, Eagleshams Ironmongers ....spent many days/night's in The Rosebud, some cracking pool players.

So it was. 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.
