Njugle Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I remember being able to walk up to the hill to go rabbiting, carrying a gun(in case), with a sheath knife on your belt and not run the risk of spending a few weeks in jail.

Ghostrider Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Everything east of the old North Road from Grantfield to the power station with the exception of the fish factory and Station Garage was pretty much a derelict decaying midden. And, beyond the west turn at the north end of the straight of the old North Road, there was nothing unless the Decca and Rearo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I mind going to see Return of the Jedi when I was about 7 years old at the North Star, My first length underwater at the old swimming pool and my first under-age pint in The excelsior. Can anyone remember when Lochside stores was called The Igloo? Nobody believes me about this and I'm starting to think that maybe it's just the confused memories from of a really boring dream I once had...

Ghostrider Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 The dump at Clickimin still in use. Harry Hay's saleroom being upstairs in Mounthooly Street, then when the Norski that owned the building went bust, moving to a patched up burned out Nissen hut surrounded by rotting half burned out cars in what had been Mair's Yard next the old power station. Health and safety would have heart attacks if anyone tried it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bug Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Spikkin of the cross - mind the chip shop on the corner where you stood outside and they served you out through a window. Best chips in my lifetime - and you could feed a family of 4 with a thrupenny bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
