West Lothian memories
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.
Saturday Mornings at The Centre
I used to go to the Centre every Saturday morning. The disco started at 11am. Many of my friends went, Shawsy Broon was the DJ, a pie was 5p (1/-), and myself and 3 other friends were the centre GO-GO dancers. It was the highlight of our week,and I have many happy memories.

The Supey
This is how the shopping centre looked when I was growing up in the 1970s. The Hind also had a pub that had no windows and smelt of stale beer. Next door was Mrs Gilchrist's paint shop, she had big ankles and always had her scottie dog with her. Next to that was a bakery where you wasted you dinner money on a big cream cake called a special. Then there was a menswear shop, I think it was called Tonys. Next again was the chippy owed by the Italian family. Jessie Drummond's wool shop was next and at the end was Charlie Miller's the newsagents.
Planned Visit to The Hometown
I left St Mary's Secondary to go to work in Riddochhill Pit. Wow!. Left the coal mine to work for Ritchie Brothers for a couple of years and headed to Lancaster to join my big sister, Veronica, in Lancaster. I sold Life Insurance for The Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society for a year or so and then emigrated to BC, Canada. Memories of kicking the can, "rounders", using the fireplace shovel for a bat, and the many times of tying black thread to the door knocker, hide behind the front hedge or fence and watch the people open the door....
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.
