Feeling rather housebound like the rest of the country today. This public health crisis has a long way to go before being resolved in the UK, and already after week 1, I’m longing to be outdoors more for a change of scenery. So what better than a couple of photos of outdoors. Let’s go back […]
Ellen Buchanan sent in this photo and said, “This is my Dad Jimmy (Feg) Lanaghan serving in WW2 1939-1945 x” Pictured around 1939, Jimmy was originally a coal miner before being called up for WW2. He was amongst the first groups of men to be called to fight. Jimmy and his wife, Isobel lived in miner’s terraced […]
Davy Thomson shared this lovely photo of his parents taken in the late 1940’s (recently colourised by ‘Scotland Colourised’). Davy asks, “Hi Paul,, can you get any info on when and where my mum and dad married? I was only 7 when they both passed, so I don’t have much info on them.” I can […]
More Glasgow Road photos from 1980. Previously unseen online, this is the building of Clydeview Shopping Centre, the upper units already built in the existing western side of the centre. The ASDA warehouse is well progressed and the steelwork of the corner premises still being built. The other photo shows bollard over the redundant entrance […]

Here’s a nice photograph of St. Joseph’s Primary Class of 1955/56. Robert Cumberland has sent it in saying, ” My wife Jane, nee Park, is in the photo but just can’t remember where she is in it.” This may be a longshot, but recognise anybody?
More previously unseen photos online, thanks to George Hay. After many years of meeting in the old Nazarene Church (hut), a new church, on Elm Street, was built for the congregation there and officially opened by Mrs. Janet Mackie and dedicated on Sunday 24th October 1982. These photos show the church shortly after in […]
How about this for a great photo! Lets go back 40 years to 1980. This is of course Glasgow Road, looking eastwards from outside the Stonefield Tavern. (those horse signs now both in my possession with thanks to Stan Gordon). Priory Street was still a through road, houses going through renovation, Asda and Clydeview Shopping […]
John Bell recently turned up at my front door handing this in to me. He found it at the riverside in the upper Rotten Calder river and it attracted his attention as it was clearly manufactured or man made. Perfectly circular, smooth and made of stone, it has a little indent in it. His theory […]
