I have many happy memories growing up with my family at 29 Newbiggin Crescent. My name was Janice Cannon and I have three brothers - Jeff, Ted and Ian, and two sisters - Nancy and Jane. We moved to England in 1969 where we are all still living. I remember the Ward Family who lived just a few doors from us. I have been back a few times, the last occasion in 2007 to celebrate a special birthday. I did a real walk down memory lane which was special
I remember being a young whippersnapper in the good old Kippers Junction and the man who lived on the end of the street was named Joe Bigs. But he was always smoking about 20 snouts at 1 time. So we used to call him Old Smokey Joe - he didn't like the name but no wonder we called him it.
I was brought up in Tullibody, my name was Mc Bride. Good memories of the place; kick the can, playing beds, skipping ropes. I remember Louies chippy, Stephensons post office. I moved to England in 1969 for work, been here since Newcastle - my offspring are Geordies. Still visit lots, it's my home. I stay at the caravan park at Fishcross. I spent my childhood there at Pittfern Cottage, my aunties. Love the place - no place like home.
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.
