Karen McQuade shared this next photo.
She said, “It’s been taken in the Crescents. Maybe Welsh Drive Or Maxwell Crescent? My grandfather Charlie is in front row 2nd in from right. His brother Andrew is 2nd from right back row. The occasion? I have no idea! Year?? Well my Granda was born in 1910 so maybe in the 1930’s.
Do you recognise anybody? It’s a great photo and there’s a good chance these are all Blantyre men.
The photo of the group of men in the crescents is Welsh Drive and my father Alexander Gillespie is back row extreme right. taken approx. 1926!
