First Memories
This was the year I was born in what was then seen as Parkside because it was the top half of the village. I was born in Knownoble Street and some of my most earliest memories were of being raised in a three generation household. Then of sneaking through a neighbourghs garden to get to the swing park. Of Scott's Farm where fresh milk came from every day and of Allen's shop where Besty was not only the teacher but the one that kept it running with her Mother. Then when I was a little older I moved closer to Allen's shop on Biggar Road right handy for the bus stop for going to and from School.

RE: RE: First Memories
My father lived in Park Street in Cleland as a boy and his Uncle Tom (Devine) lived at 59 Knownoble Street. My father Danny was one of 12 children (7 boys and 5 girls). He worked at Kingshill Colliery and most of his brothers and his father were miners. We all visited my granny at 1 Park Street and then Uncle Tom (my Dad's brother) lived there too. My auntie Sadie who married Robert Brunton lived in Cleland all her life. I remember Betsy Allen's shop and then I visited Scotland in 2000, Betsy was still there and to me hadn't changed a bit! She taught my father at school! Amazing.
