marrle 13 #1 Posted November 6 Not sure where this photo was taken, but as I lived in Harris Street as a child I presume it was a hall quite near. Thanks Margie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 2,815 #2 Posted November 6 I think it was the Coronation Party in the Baptists Hall which was on Lingholm Road on the park side at the junction with Boundary Road. I also lived in Harris Street (No. 77) and as an 11 year-old will be on that photograph too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 2,815 #4 Posted November 6 Did your grannie have the chip-shop and did her husband have a patch over his eye? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marrle 13 #5 Posted November 6 Yes to both Alan, never been able to find out the dates when they had the chippy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 2,815 #6 Posted November 6 Can't help you with dates other than that it closed some time in the early to mid 1950s. One indelible memory is that its frying range was coal-fired and we used to look down the street to see if its dedicated flue outlet above the shop-window was smoking. This told us the chippie was open Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
