Another previously unseen online photo! This time going back to the 1960’s to High Blantyre Main Street.
On the left just out the picture would be modern day “Family Shopper” or people may remember the Stones Hotel in the era pictured. The gable end just after the low wall is where Wilson’s shop was, with Jim Paton’s barber shop on the top floor. Only a small portion of that tenement still exists. Roads are of course busier, the pavements narrower, but the scene otherwise, is largely unchanged,
The chemist used to be on the right hand side. Whats YOUR memories of this area?

Was Bill Holland’s Electrical shop not there at one point? It would have been the one next to the lane between Stones and the other building.
Hi Jim – Yes, Was that not part of the building you see pictured. Only 1 level of that corner exists now, but there still is a HOLLAND sign above the derelict building.
