RE: RE: Memories of Newmains
My mum was born in Mornigside, and as a child moved to Woodside Crescent with her parents (No 52, I think). She then married my dad and moved down here to England. I have some very happy memories of my holidays in Scotland, at my grandparents house. My grandpa also worked at Kingshill Colliery. He also played bowls at Newmains Bowling Club, where he took me on a few occasions when he was playing his matches. Happy, happy days indeed.
