Townhill Miners Village
I am interested in family history. Many of my relatives surnamed Hunter came from the Townhill Miners Village, the earliest being William Hunter, born 1750. I have been researching the area my ancestors were miners, it was a tough life - "Clackmannanshire Miner Killed - A miner named Robert Hunter (22), married, residing at Ramsay Street, Coalsnaughton, met with a fatal accident in the underground workings of the Devon Colliery, belonging to the Alloa Coal Company. He was knocked down and seriously injured by a runaway hutch, and died on the way to the County Accidents Hospital. He leaves a widow and child."

ROYAL AIRFORCE MEMORIES
I was at Pitreavie when it was a signals station for the Royal Navy and the RAF. We were like moles underground most of the time. The best thing about it was the warmth and the peace. We had a great crew down there, RAF and WRAF together. One of my best memories was the wedding of LAC Triggs and Corporal Sutton, WRAF. From here I was posted to RAF North Point in Hong Kong. Happy days.
School Days
I lived in Mossgreen, Crossgates in the 60s. My first school was in Mossgreen, it had only 3 classrooms and 1 of the classes was taken by the headmaster Mr Suttie. Mr and Mrs Suttie lived in the headmaster's house next to the school and Mrs Suttie was a teacher at Crossgates Primary.
Mossgreen School
I lived in Crossgates and my first school was also Mossgreen. The headmaster was Mr Burgess and the teachers were Miss Taylor, Miss Curry and Miss Mitchell. My brothers and I have many happy memories of Crossgates, exploring the Taft and the Bulwark.
