Across from the Greystone's Hotel was a petrol station, I'm talking about 40 years ago. I think after the petrol station it was Paisley Crane Hire.
The barbers across from the higher grade has me stumped, it wasn't Fergusons , he was further up New St. could it have been Willie Wilsons.

Hi
Ferguson's ice cream was parked in their drive way at their mum and dads house as Wallace Ave, I can remember the boys called Gerald and Robert.
Was there a Laundrette next to Gourleys when I was at the Higher Grade ?

LP,
Before the petrol station it used to belong to Tam Frew. He kept his trucks there and before that his horses and carts.
One thing missing was my favourite place when I was a kid 'THE GOOD OLD DELUXE' next to Gourlays. I spent many a good night there shouting on my heroes Tom mix ,Roy Rogers, the Cisco Kid and many more.

Paisley Crane Hire.

Was up from Steele's in Portland place,
the Garage was at one point Douglas Motors, who moved to , where the Jet(??) Petrol Station and Spar is in the Bogelmart

The barbers across from the higher grade has me stumped

Willie wilson's then some one else then Jim Ferguson prior to him moving to Bogelmart street then New street

it wasn't Fergusons

Fergusons had the petrol station , then they built a factory Moorpark Road, Portland Place side(grey building end of cottages)

Just a wee step back on our saunter, I managed to get some information last night from an elderly man, Wullie Thomson aged 88. The big house down the shore opposite Trelawney Terr. was known as "Seamore House" and the Cotters lived there. He remembered 4 families that lived in the Chemical raw, W Smith ( Polish), Aitken, Edwards and Lewis.

Does anyone remember a hotel that was on the same side as Steel's garage but at the top of Portland st.?

[stivis]

Possibly the Commercial..........Only reason I heard someone mention that name

. Do you remember the McCarts, I think they went to Canada when the parents died, they had a sister there. Then there was the Clarks, and the Wilsons, to name just a few...good folks.

Hi Betty, I remember a Bobby Clark staying in Ardoch Cres. and the Wilsons, their son Tom was at school with me. Was his dad a vet , as I seem to remember they had lots of pet animals and I'm sure it was the Wilson's who donated the swordfish bill to Ardeer primary, it was on display in the cabinet in the corridor.
When you mentioned the McCarts, is it the same family that lived in Trelawney Terr.

The barbers next to Gourlays was Bobby Haswell. He was my barber when I lived doon the Caley

I thought i'd stick these in before we move on up the street.
I think you can see the hotel in this photo ,right hand side top of the road.







This building used to be the old rent office.

Robert if you look closely at the photo of steel's garage, printed on it is the name " Trade's Hotel".
