Alistair Hastings shared this photo with Blantyre Project which was taken by and credited to his late grandfather Joe Hastings.
This is almost certainly taken in 1963 or 64. Nice colour, shot on Kodachrome and is of the Bothwell Covenanters Memorial at the end of Bothwell Bridge. The quiet roads almost as much of a talking point as the memorial itself. This was around 60 – 62 years ago. The changes which have happened since in that area!
Paul, I know at least a couple of pics by Joe Hastings of Bothwell have been posted.
I “served my time” at Belmos Blantyre, Bothwell and Bellshill. We had a director named Joe Hastings who lived in Bothwell. He was known to all employees as “Big Joe”
Wondering if this was the Joe who was Alistair’s grandfather.
Hoping Alistair can comment.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
