If Only
I lived at 24 Newbiggen Crescent for quite a few years. In my family there was 10 girls and 4 boys, yes 14 children, and my parents. We spent many hours playing in the wood at the bottom of our garden which unfortunately has almost all vanished, on my last visit I was shocked at the change. I last visited in 2009 and it left me very moved. My maiden name was Ward and I would be thrilled to hear from anyone of that era.
Clackmannanshire memories
Childhood
I was born and brought up in 14 Main Street, Cambus, then we moved to 2 Main Street. I remember Betty, Anna & Jean Keir. Peggy Young and then Pat Ferguson had the wee pub. Andrew Rennie had the farm. We used to go for walks along the Hennan Road and along the Devon Place. I have a sister and brother. My mum was Margaret Horn (nee Harley) my granny and grandpaw were Christina and Robert (Bob) Harley. Does anybody remember me?
Old Menstrie Castle
Menstrie Castle was a great favourite for us young ones, looking at the staircase. I remember an old woman used to live there, I can't remember her name, but she used to chase us when we played there. We once found old bullets in one of the rooms next to the archway. One friend (Billy Boyle) fell through through the roof and broke his leg, yes those were the days. I was there last year but it is not the same now as the castle has been turned into flats and the old staircase has now gone.
Youth Club
I remember going to the youth club, we had to to take our own records there, in one room was the pool table and in the other room was a a record player that we played our records on, it was behind the Co-op. I also remember going to dances in the Co-op hall, I think they were on a Friday night, and what about the Christmas parties in the church hall, my favourite memory is being taking by my 2 elder brothers on our sledge (as it was snowing that night) to our annual Sunday School Christmas party. Oh to be back there now :(
Trip to Alloa
My ancestors were from Alloa and surrounding areas. They lived there for many years, back to the 1600s. I was finally able to visit Alloa this June after years of waiting. It was a beautiful summer morning and so green. The people were friendly to us. The feeling of it will be cherished in my heart, for so many of my people were born and raised there and worked so hard before coming to America in the 1870s. It was fun to eat the food, smell the freshness, and see the cattle and sheep. The mountains were beautiful, and the houses charming. Age will not allow me to come again, but I will remember forever.
Mobby
I live in South Alloa and my mother did too, and she still does. My mother told me about a whale that came up the Forth near South Alloa, many people came to see this whale and many came to help move it back into the sea. After they moved it back into the sea it came back to where it was again, and soon everyone knew the whale had come to rest in peace and die, so they called it Mobby, but I do not know why they called it Mobby.
School in 1951
I remember walking to school in the snow, and standing in line while Captain Gracie came down the line to check your ears etc were clean. My name then was Irene Rich and I lived at 41 Hawthorn Drive. We all had some really good memories there, playing down the woods, and it was always safe to play outside at night time, playing rounders, oh the memories...
