Lanarkshire memories
The 1950s
Hi all, I used to live on Easter Moffet golf course and attended Motherwell central school, my father was the club master in the early 1950s (Jack Potter). I used to go fishing down on the River Clyde between Motherwell and Hamilton near the Hamilton Mausoleum. I also fished in the Strathclyde Loch, I don't think it was called that when I was young. I also belonged to the Motherwell Scouts in Airbles Street near the bing on the left side going down the road. As I got older I fished more up the river near Muirhouse Towers area which was all woods in them days. I will post more memories as I remember them.

Great Laughs at Taylor High
Great times at Taylor High with Mick Logan, Kev Hastings and Mark O'hara etc.. I remember the time I went up on the flats (across from Taylor High) and got a big chunk of wet moss from a drain. I waited for Mick Logan to pass, then shouted his name, he looked up - then bingo! I let the moss go.. direct hit, right slap bang on the coupon, what a shot - laughed for weeks after it!! He took it in good fun though, and that's what mates do. I live in Ireland now, and I'll never forget where I came from.

Happy Days
Ferniegair is very dear to my heart. Being fortunate to have two sets of relatives who lived there we spent many happy times visiting them. As soon as we arrived at one Aunt's house it was off with the coats and across the road to see the other relatives then of up the high parks to play on the swings and the giant chute, it was ever so high and how we loved it. We had a cousin who just loved us children and had such a vivid imagination and could relate stories (and still does) that fascinated us. Having grown up and had family of my own, Ferniegair featured high on their list of favourite places and it was good to see the same cousin tell my son and daughter the same stories. Then we had the Gala Days which we attended every year and won lots of prizes for our fancy dress costumes. My children are now grown up but still delight in... Read more
