jist auld factories Dazzle that are still there.. but it lets folk who lived there remember where their hooses and shops once stood... ma auntie lived right across fae that big arched windae, its no a big door . so a think even ugly buildings take on a meaning... what a place fordneuk st was when we where kids the neighbours where the best i"ve known,shopkeepers where also superb.going along broad st to see all the buildings gone is a sad sight,i recall the stormy nite when the salvage corps building collapsed like a pack of cards,it was sited just behind where they built the homeless hostel..

I was very sad to read your post calamity, how can anyone do that? Especially to a wee women on her own that didn't have much in the first place! Yer poor wee mammy, she must have been very nervous after that and her heart must have been broken when she saw her family photos ruined in puddles! The scumbag who did this obviously didn't have a heart, did they ever catch anyone for it?

Hi Carltondefender, I know just how you felt,because our house was brocken into at 410 janefield st, that was in 1962, then two weeks later , they broke in again,when we were at my moms funeral. I have no love for housebreakers,and I hope I never catch anyone breaking into my house,because if I do,I,ll be the one going to jail,and I,ll be charged with murder.
