Oh ,Thank you Charlie, xxx I have been searching so long for this information. My mother used to go to that yard with her sisters and brother and after my grandfather had washed and groomed the hores on the Sunday. Overtime for him. He would let them give the horses a sweet for being good.My mother and sisters loved this time with the horses. I remember Jimmy and his lovely sister Cathy,but would you believe it was after his death that i started to look for this yard. So it could have been his father. I leart that there was a brother too but that must have been the same time as Jimmy. He used to let my husband park our little car in his yard when we came from France. He was such a kind and lovely person. Never for a moment did i think that it could have been the same yard. oh what a small world. Charlie you are a sweetheart!

My mother was born 977 London Road. Her father was a carter and worked just a few closes away from there after the church Would be about 1930 before Jimmy Frier. Can anyone tell me the name of this yard. Does anyone have photos of this part of London road. I would be so very grateful for your help.

Yes, Wonderful photo. Thee was also Frank's chip shop,Wright's the dairy ,who sold the best candy toffee aples on the planet; My grandmother would wait at the school railings at playtime and give me a big candy apple from the shop; Jim Lamb a friend lived in the last close next to Cochranes's. He used to deliver the papers for the newsagent a few shops down. Amethyst

The wee shop next to the wee smelly parc was called May Muir's she was a lovely woman and she lived just above the shop. I remember to Granny Thomson's and Lachie's. When my mother cale up the low road every night after her work she would buy sweets at granny Thomsons's the penny tray.Then come up to Dalserf street to wash my sister and prepare our school clothes for the next day.

My parents lived just across from this pub; 4 Fielden street. the cafe next to the Tatoo shop i think it was caled vincie's cafe . When you went into the shop you could go up a few seps to the next level. this was our treet to go there and have Knicker bocker glories. i do't think that i spelt that right but it was a huge glass of ice cream with all the trimmings and a chololate flake at the top.i remember too my darling mum would get a provet cheque and at Easter time would buy the biggest Easter eggs this cafe had and work every week to pay the Provet cheque back to give Yvonne my darling sister and us this treat. Oh Ma we didn't need such a big egg. WE KNEW you loved us so much. XXX
