Another Nursery photo from Cath McInally. But what’s the year and do you recognise any of these Blantyre kids?
Cath McInally, pictured top left very recently gave me a copy of some of her photos of 47 years of running the nursery in High Blantyre. I’m looking for some help with a few of them, trying to date them, something which should be possible by knowing who the kids are. Do you recognise anybody […]

351 Glasgow Road in 1979 , adjacent to the start of Cloudhowe Terrace, once had a large nursery at the back of it.

Frank Pattie in the 1950’s supplied […]
Although Crossbasket Nursery doors have unofficially been open since end August, it wasn’t officially opened until today, Wednesday 29th October 2014. With an unveiling ceremony, drinks and nibbles, I was thrilled to have received an invite (and also prompting an early finish from work!) Owners Steve Timoney and his wife Alison gave a splendid speech […]
Arthur Brown founded Barnhill Nursery in Summer 1834. The nursery building was made of thatch and sited at the junction of Broompark Road and Hunthill Road, where modern bungalows sit today. Most of the fresh produce he tended to was sold locally to grocers and at times outwith Blantyre itself. Strawberries and Damsons were grown […]
Pictured here is Barnhill, Blantyre in 1901. It’s a great old photo showing Stewart’s Cottage on the left (also known as Pathhead) and the Hoolet’s Nest public house on the right hand side. Stewart’s cottage was named after the weaver who lived there and the hand loom that was visible from the windows. The front […]
