A pre WW2 photo next. Shared here by Neil Scott who told me, “Bill Gardner with his mother at Auchinraith Terrace, around 1940. Bill now lives in Vancouver , Canada with his wife Isobel.” The house and steps look very new, as they were fairly new!
Thanks to Neil Scott for sharing this photo of Bill Gardner and his mother Maisie. Taken in 1936, the family lived at Auchinraith Terrace, although this picture was captured whilst they were on holiday. Happy times judging by the smiles in a Scotland before war grasped Britain.

Pictured here likely in the 1940s, is Blantyre man William L Gardner who lived at Stonefield Crescent. He was the Bakery manager for the Co-operative and would have worked at the site at Auchinraith Road. Thanks to Neil Scott for sharing this photo. William looks very finely dressed, a promotional picture perhaps for his success […]

I […]

Pictured in 1959 is Christine Gardner with her mother Maisie on a day outing to the seaside. In the other picture, Maisie leans on railings outside her home in Auchinraith Terrace, […]
