I’ve now caught up and sent everybody their re-animation videos, everybody who asked for one. One final one for now. A 110 year old photo of a Blantyre girl was amongst the collection of David Ritchie’s photographs of the turn of the 20th Century. The High Blantyre photographer captured a lot of buildings, scenes and […]
Sheena King recently shared this charming photo. Going back to the early 1950’s, it was taken outside a close at 7 John Street, Blantyre. This wee girl’s name is Netta Paterson. She lived with her brothers and sisters at number 5 John St. Sheena told me, “My Grampa Wil Fleming lived at number 7. My […]
Continuing a little look at putting some life back into old Blantyre photos. Today, it’s the turn of Blantyre’s most famous son, Explorer Dr David Livingstone. Born at a time when no film existed, until now you could only wonder what he would look like on film. Thanks to the wonderful image and the use […]
Today, I turn 50 (how on earth did that happen!?) So appropriately, i thought I’d post a picture of my ancestors, for without them, of course I wouldn’t be here. Personal to our family, this one is an important photo not just for its age, but also because of who’s in it! The date is […]

Incredibly, I’m able to take a good quality, forward facing old image of a person and make a 13 second video of their face! See how they once looked at a time before film, or when no film existed! Like this short […]

Liz Allan writes, “This is an old pic around 1959 of my mum, sister and myself being the wee one! This was at the beginning of Wheatland Avenue, Blantyre. Behind us is where Wolcott Drive is built now. Not sure what the wee building is. Believe it or not this is the only pic I […]
Gail Sampaio recently shared this treasured family photo. Gail told me, “This photo is of my late mum, Mary Stewart (née Mcgrail) and her family the Mcgrails who lived in Welsh Drive, Blantyre. I think she must be around 2-3 years old in the photo, so this must be around 1929 as she was born […]
The Crossbasket Falls on the River Calder at High Blantyre. Reader, Gerry shared this photo with the river in spate after all the meltwater from the recent snow. The falls have become affectionately know as the Four Angels Falls in recent years, a name becoming more widely being referenced to. All being well with planning […]
