Strawberries A memory of Huntworth, Somerset My family came from Wellbank and every summer we would go there from Durham to help my Uncle Jim at Buckleshead, to pick stawberries and raspberries ready to go from there in wooden barrels to the jam factory at Dundee. My memories are good ones from these days and I will visit again to have a look round and do a bit of family history. My father also played football for Dundee United. My grandfather I think used to haul jute in Dundee to the mills with horse/cart. Dave Last edited: 30/07/2008 13:25 by David Kindlen |

Family Memories A memory of Huntworth, Somerset My grandparents lived in Kinneff for many years. 6 Martin Terrace to be exact. They are now resting in The Old Kinneff Parish Churchyard. I lived with them for a short time and attended Kinneff School. I have fond memories of my time there. My most vivid memory is lying in bed at night and listening to Todhead Light foghorn. I now live in the US and hopefully soon will be able to bring my children so they can have some fond memories as well. Posted: 14/03/2008 01:09 by Dianne Evers |

Good Old Days A memory of Dundee, Angus Meeting my pals under the clock and walking around on Sundays, going dancing at Robbies once a week. My Mum and Dad also would meet under the clock. Dancing at the City Square on VE day. I was living with my Grandmother on Princess Street, where I was born, I was sent back to Dundee in 1944 because of the VE bombs. My first job was in Willie Lows Grocers. There was nothing like seeing the New Year in with the bagpipes in the City Square. Oh, so many happy memories.

Meeting Place A memory of Dundee, Angus Seeing this brings back memories of many happy meetings. In my day the foot of Reform St was the place where all of Dundee's friends and lovers seemed to meet. Late at night the fish and chip stand on Boots the Chemists corner was also a popular place to meet. Many a happy Saturday was spent walking down the near by Overgate full of all manner of small shops. Edna Adamson, Australia Last edited: 09/06/2008 10:00 by Edna Adamson |

DRI A memory of Dundee, Angus I did my SRN at the DRI. Seeing the photo of the Castle brings back happy memories. My husband and I spent many happy hours in the grounds surrounding the Castle. On my last visit to Dundee the housing complex in the grounds of the old DRI were not yet finished but one of the Turrets was still standing. I wonder if it still stands. If anyone out there has a photo of the DRI I would love to see it posted on this site. Edna Adamson Australia Posted: 08/06/2008 05:24 by Edna Adamson |
