1949 Low Blantyre School

Time for an auld school photo! This one is from 1949 and is Low Blantyre School. The teacher is Miss Barr. Robert Gordon told me, “Im fourth from the right on second back row! I can still recall many of the names.”

In the background is Victoria Place, (or more commonly known at the time as the Honeymoon). Between the buildings, you can just about see the Police Station at the junction of Calder Street. It may be a stretch for readers to recognise anybody, as these kids would now be in their late 70s, possibly almost 80.
