West Lothian memories
My Mothers Birthplace
Mine is not a personal memory but Uphall Station was the birthplace of my mother. Mum was born on the 29th of April 1924. Her parents were Hugh and Annie Campbell ( nee Mooney ). My grandparents and Mum immigrated to New Zealand in 1925. I am intending to visit Scotland in the next couple of years and will be visiting Uphall Station. As an only child Mum and I were very close and sadly she passed away 5 years ago and we were unable to travel to her birthplace together but I will keep her dream alive by coming to this often talked about, very special place with my husband.
Home
I was born in Mid Calder; my sister in Pumpherston; and my brother in Uphall Station. We lived at 17 Nettlehill Road until we emigrated to Canada in October 1957. We all went to the school in Uphall Station and my favourite teacher was Miss Clyde. All of us have been back to Scotland and Uphall Station. The second time I was back I went to the old house to have a look, nothing had changed. One of my later times in going, the 17 Nettelhill Road I knew was torn down and a new one was in place. When we left Scotland in 1957 they were just building the houses behind Nettlehill Road. Now there is a new Station with dual railway tracks going both east and west. Times have changed and the village has grown, but Uphall Station in my heart is still home

Co-Op Choir
Great memories singing in the Co-op choir. Putting on a show for the locals who bought a ticket and were given a bag of food and a drink to eat during the interval. Also going to Corstorphine for the choir competition and Scottish country dancing. Lots of great memories going to the Co-op Xmas and New Year dances. The Locarno, The Dreadnought (Birdcage), Flannigans, Smiths, great night life as a teenager.
Where my Dad Was Born
Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland is the place where my Dad was born in 1901. Born 1901 Died 1980.
My Sisters Wedding
My sister got married in the Hind in 1984 (where those big windows are above the shopping centre. A lot of my family went to the wedding. The centre has changed a lot as it is now an indoor centre. I do remember the centre looking like this. I was born in Blackburn and also knew the centre looking like this until a few years ago.
