Mitchell Street

Oh! the glen, the viaduct and certainly the boys from Bargeddie. What about the wee sweetie shop on the way in to Bargeddie, not that we were allowed to go there, so how do I know about it? Frying pans and potato cakes come to mind. My brother Ian fell off the viaduct and was carried home by Mr Hume. Mum sent him back to find his missing sandal!! Cant imagine any children being allowed any where near the very fast water now. There was Hilary and Gordon and Sheila from Swinton Crescent. The Kerr girls and the McAuleys down the road, The McGarry's. oh all those names. Baxter's buses to town. The lane at the Shaw's, did you know it was called that? Bernie Vacca;s ice cream van and Picozzies too. Danny Byrne and the co op grocery van. All still looks the same apart from the sports centre. Mr Shaw and my Uncle David were best friends when young men. Both very handsome and dapper in their day. Glad it still looks the same.

I think you were in my class 1A at Rosehall.
