Memories Of Coatbridge

A Memory of Coatbridge.

My name is Arthur Boyden, I was born in Stirling St, Old Monkland in 1940, but I remember the 50's. I went to St. Augustins Primary School then to St. Mary's in the Whifflet till I was 15. My first job, Frank Collins butchers in Bank Street. I am now 73 years old but still go back to visit now & again. My mother used to work in Joe Dinardo's chip shop and then in Old Monkland Commuity Centre, she was called Wee Maggie Gribben. I've still got some great memories of Coatbridge.
