Memories of West Lothian
Lawn Bowling in Addiewell
I am the Historian for West Lothian Bowling Association and I am trying to find information, items and artifacts relating to Addiewell Bowling Club. If you can help me update my information or archive please let me know. Thank you in anticipation. Gary
Breich Burn
We all used to go to the burn every day in the summer with a bag of pieces of carluke steak (jam), we were there all day building dams to make the water deeper. When the pit horn sounded we knew the miners would be coming home with spare pit pieces. I learned to swim in the Briech Burn.
The McFarlane Clan
I felt as though I grew up in Fauldhouse (I didn't), number 19 Barton Terrace. My mother Rebecca Alan's parents lived and died there. Her sister Cathy took the house over and then her cousin David. She had 3 brothers, Alan, James and David, she also had 2 sisters, Margaret and Cathy. If anyone remembers them, let me know. They originaly lived in East Benhar when she was very small, it was a mining village, it boasted a school. In 1933 the school closed. Most of the people living there moved to Fauldhouse, everything was demolished! Does anyone have pics or know anyone who lived there?
Any Descendants of Thomas Allan Paterson + Maggie Easton
I am a descendant of the above and wonder if anyone is a direct descendant, I am looking for information of son Alexander Paterson, I have never been able to find a death in Edinburgh Register House. Do you know what happened to him?
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.
