Pictured here is Gerard McGarry and possibly his sister Jeanne. The location is thought to be Blantyre but I’m having trouble reconciling where. It reminds me of Coatshill , Wheatlands or around Elm Street before the new houses were built. Does anybody know where this is. (Obviously windows and doors will look different now). Im open to this being even in the Hamilton area…..

With thanks to Gerard’s daughter Monica who shared this photo, which has recently been colourised.
