Lanarkshire memories

Early Days in Uddingston

I lived with my parents and grandparents in an upstairs flat 8 Clutha Place,101 1/2, (yes one hundred and one and a half!!) Old Mill Road, Uddingston until I was about two and a half. I remember watching the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on a black and white TV in the home of one of the downstairs neighbours who I think was called Mrs Brown. The year was 1953 and she was the only person we knew with a TV set at that time. We, along with several other neighbours, were invited to crowd into Mrs Brown's flat to watch the spectacle I remember having a little gold coloured replica of the Coronation Coach to mark the occasion. After living in Holytown and then Bothwell, our family returned to Uddingston around 1961 to a house in Holmbrae Avenue. My parents remained there until 2004. I now live in South Australia, but have been back to an ever changing Uddingston on many occasions, most recently in 2011. ... Read more

32 Maxwell Place Uddingston Bothwell

My Great Great Grandmother Mary Ann Bell (Nee Law), an American by birth, was living at 32 Maxwell Place, Uddingston, Bothwell in 1901 with her daughter Catherine Law Bell. Mary Ann was listed as a House Missionary in the census.

Coatbridge Palais

Great times in Coatbridge Town Hall every Wednesday, we could dance to the Golden Crusaders and on a Saturday night to the Drumbeats.
Oh happy days.

Kirkshaws Primary 1972-1978 And Monkland Lane Flats

I was born and brought up in Old Monkland. I lived with my parents and sister Audrey and in 1977 my brother Andrew was born. We lived in the flats, 3 storeys up, in Monkland Lane. I attended Kirkshaws Primary School. I remember in particular 1975, as it was a very long and extremely hot summer. I loved to play tennis in the back courts with the neighbours' kids, the Mcguire family. I also was friendly with a girl in the block behind Janice Page.  At school I was very quiet, nervous and shy. I used to go to first-aid classes in the school on a Tuesday night. I also went to the Girl Guides in Old Monkland parish church on Fridays. My maiden name was Dingwall. If you remember these times, I'd love to hear from you.

1956to1962

I used to go out with a girl called Ann Peat who had a sister called Ray. Their mother owned the Wifflet Garden Picture House. I used to work for McLeods, slater and plasters in Coatbridge. I will add more as I remember it. I remember Fergusons the bakers at the Wifflet who had the greatest bridies in the world! I also did the roofing and plaster repairs at Rosehill, I remember a Mrs Chivers who lived there...

Cecil Street 1951=1970

I was born at 39 Cecil Street and lived there with my mother Jeannie, my granda Billy, and my brother Billy who was 11 months older than me. My granda had a horse and cart, and was a hawker. I can remember the prefabs, and was jealous that we did not live in one as they had a fridge, which at that time was really modern. We attended St Mary's Primary School,and lived there until my mother got married when I was ten, but my brother and my granda still lived there until my granda died in the 1970s. Unfortunately my mother and my brother Billy are both dead now. We used to go to the Garden picturehouse when we were wee, but it became the Lees macaroon factory after that and the women used to throw out broken macaroon bars from the window for us to catch, they were great.

Coatbridge Slap up

I was born in 1953 and heard stories about the slap up which I think was around the Dundyvan area. It may still have been there but I assume that these places were built for the Irish immigrants around 1900 and were so poorly constructed that they were demolished in the early sixties.
