Shared Memories of Canonbie
 Canonbie, Cross Keys c1955 (ref: C360022) |
Year: 1955
Cross Keys Garage
Seeing these photographs has taken me right back in time. We moved to Canonbie in 1950. My father and uncle owned the Cross Keys Garage seen in the background of this photo next to the hotel. The two bungalows beyond were built for us and my Uncle & Aunt.{Stan & Margaret Cluley} and my mum and dad {Gordon & Iris Flitcroft} I grew up in this village and have my own memories on my website. www.joanmac.co.uk The photographs on this sight have evoked more memories and taken me back to a wonderful childhood. The hotel when we moved to the village was still under State Management. The Fairy Loup was also one of our favourite walks as we went to visit our friends at Thorniewhats, [Linda Laidlaw's family] Thank-you for the memories.

 Canonbie, Fairy Loup c1955 (ref: C360019) |
Year: 1955
A Childhood Memory of my Introduction to Walking
The Fairy Loup was always my favourite walk as a child. In fact that picture would have been taken around the time my brother John and I along with our “Auntie Betty” and our sister Gillian in the pram used to go on our walks. Our Auntie Betty was not our real Aunt she was a Nanny who lived in Edinburgh and when she had time to herself she came to visit our parents. Not much of a holiday as she was always getting pestered to take us all for a walk around the Fairy Loup. She didn’t mind, she loved the walk and it was much more enjoyable that walking the pavements of Edinburgh. The road has been closed to traffic for a number of years now, it is still a very pretty walk and is much used by local folk, and passing visitors to the district.
