I remember Mcadams really well. They had a yard next door to Camlachie Cooperage in Janefield Street, and obviously they did business together. Th marvellous photie reminds me of just how ell they kept their lorries. They were always gleaming as you can see. One of the guys who lived in Janefield Street, Drew McLean (Bilko's brother) got an apprenticeship in the cooperage.

Calamity, I went to camlachie school with a boy called James Cooper and i am sure he lived across from the school,he would be about 66 yrs. old now. I also remember the cooperage in Stamford St. and Holywell St. owned by Tammy Stevenston in those days Arty

It must have been called the grange in the past, even when it was the arches, it was known as the grange and that was long before the carlins had it and changed the name from the arches, they changed it to the grange bar and the cartwheel lounge.

Dear pwm437, Thanking you so very much for your message. Well my family lived at 98 Janefield street.
My parents were Madge and John McDonald, and my aunt was Betty Cowan who both lived at 98 Janefield street. Before moving to 98 Janefield street,my parents lived at 86 Janefield street. did you know them?.
No dear pwm437, i don't think that my parents ,or aunt had newspapers delivered at home.might be wrong?

I never knew that John,that you had moved over to the other square.Mum and Bette stayed there too till the buildings were pulled down. they were never the same after that. They missed so much just living above each other ,and all the neighbours up the close. It was like having a wee family in the square.
Patsy.

Hello,pwm437 i never lived up the same close as he person you mentioned . The name I am still trying to remember. Long time ago, pwm437. I find that i am starting to forget street names and peoples names more and more. All the questions that i should have wanted to ask and never asked my darlings,when they were alive. :-( Makes ME SAD :-(

PWM, i lived at 94 for10 years and then moved across to number 137, and was there for about 12 years until they pulled them down. When they were ready to be demolished I went down to Janefield Street and screwed the number plate 149 off the wall at the close-mouth. It remains one of my most treasured possessions for a time in my life that was very happy, and which I consider 'The Wonder Years'

pwm437 that really moves me what you done with your nameplate. I wish thatI had thought and been able to to do that. What a TREASURE your nameplate must be for you. Janefield sreet was lot's of things for me HAPPY DAYS,and also VERY SAD days. We buried my dear grandparents from that house,my only darling sister,and my dear father.Also a home that i brought my only child to show my proud parents. Always thrilled to come home to that house and always so sad to leave when i returned to France. Look after and take care of your nameplate from that street and what it means for you,and the darlings in your life that lived there with you.Who made it the WONDER YEARS for....you.

It was two houses calamity, i remember raymond jack living in the bottom flat and wee chic lamont lived there after them. i can't remember who lived upstairs, but when they moved away, chic made a hole in the ceiling and made it into a bigger house for his large family.it was derelict shortly after that. i think old tam stevie, who owned the cooperage lived there years ago.
