Who remembers the shop at Stoneymeadow junction or the BP filling station next to it? At a time before the EK Expressway, this was on the main road leading up to East Kilbride. The houses still stand today. The scene is either 1950’s or 1960s.

Lillias Addison Remember it well used to walk on a Sunday with your Mum and Grandpa after Church and always got a sweetie out the shop, happy days.
Jack Bethel There was a new filling station on the opposite corner, late 60’s or early 70’s. Became a used car showroom for a while then lay empty for years. The building was demolished a couple of years ago.
Archie Peat To true Blantyronians this was known as “Steenemeedie” !

Terry Mackenzie I used to get Calor Gas at the filling station.

John Boyd born 1851 and one of their many children moved to Boone,Iowa USA and was my Great Grandfather. John’s 12th child Scott Boyd was my Grandfather and Richard Boyd was my father. Steven Boyd
