Friday 23rd December 1892, saw a special festive event for the people of Blantyre.
Late that afternoon as the school holidays started, children and adults packed into the Free Church. Most of the children were from the sabbath school attached to the church and Rev James Campbell occupied the chair.
As the afternoon gave way to evening, a special feature were the view of Blantyre given by Mr Hendrie. A number of the view were applauded, especially those well known. Votes of thanks went to all concerned.
This did make we wonder if those ‘views of Blantyre’ were the very same ones being shown here on Blantyre Project from time to time. Think about that for a second. Mr Hendrie was able to share a whole evening of photos of Blantyre which were taken at the very latest in 1892! Now that would have been worth seeing.
