Kirkshaws Primary 1972-1978 And Monkland Lane Flats
I was born and brought up in Old Monkland. I lived with my parents and sister Audrey and in 1977 my brother Andrew was born. We lived in the flats, 3 storeys up, in Monkland Lane. I attended Kirkshaws Primary School. I remember in particular 1975, as it was a very long and extremely hot summer. I loved to play tennis in the back courts with the neighbours' kids, the Mcguire family. I also was friendly with a girl in the block behind Janice Page. At school I was very quiet, nervous and shy. I used to go to first-aid classes in the school on a Tuesday night. I also went to the Girl Guides in Old Monkland parish church on Fridays. My maiden name was Dingwall. If you remember these times, I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Karen, My name is Peter Deigan and I remember you and your family, I lived in the same block at the bottom in number 26 below the Brankin family. I remember these times very well and Janice Page who lived in the block behind us. I lived there until 1976 with my mum, stepdad and grandfather and when my brother William was born we moved to Kirkshaws. My memories were mostly going to Sunday School and church. It may have been a while since you posted this but it's amazing what you come across.
