WeeBud Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Just now, buddiecat said: Cider was probably thought of as apple wine. That would be my guess Buddiecat, I had Cider in a restaurant in Madeira that was sold as an Apple Wine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBIONSAINT Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Might be different licensing laws about cider in England 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The railway line ran under Renfrew Road and behind Reid Kerr College. With a siding down towards your Aunts. Last train I seen on it was about 1978.Train line Aunts house🟢 bottom left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Monster Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Before Great Mills, wasn't there a cold storage warehouse there with a big canopy in front. No, it was Tesco. I asked some mates as we grew up in Gallowhill about it, when a work colleague was talking about a cash van incident at it. Somehow I had a brain freeze and had forgot it was Tesco that built it. Though it wasn't allowed to sell food. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Monster Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Was referring to structure that was demolished before Tesco ?/ Great Mills/ B&M. How old do you think I am, I can just remember Tesco so no idea what was there before.I'm here, said to myself I'll ask my dad. Yeah that would good, he's dead 4 years. I'm losing it today Anyway here's pictures of the old Abercorn Station, I'm guessing it's the building behind you're referring to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still treat myself to my staple order of a gammon roll and a bottle of fizzy orange for lunch when i get nostalgic.
