The Miners Institute was quite close just a few yard up the road. I remember it well because I used to get a #2 bus at the police box on Newcraighall Road just up from the crossroads, and coming off night shift snoozed all the way to Broomhouse where I got off at the terminus and walked home to 25 Wester Broom Drive. There was not a lot between Hay Drive and the village, so there may have been a staggering of buses. When I think of it there was a #2 route from Surgeons Hall to Hay Drive.

Another wee that route story. There was a night bus ran pretty well that route. John Castle got a call at Niddrie to go to Braid Place for something. After he got on the bus, at another stop a dog jumped on to the bus, a man at the next stop went to get off and the dog a stray, got vicious and would not let anyone on or off. No phones, no polis seen until somewhere well away from Braid Place and they finally got help and got the dog off, John had a problem explaining his tardiness, and was stuck with the story for a long time after.

Would that not have been about the time BC left his wife for Pamela Stevenson? She was appearing regularly on Not the 9 O'Clock News at that time.

I spent a lot of time in Piershill in the late 50's early to mid-60's at my Grans in Piershill Square East. Site of the cinema is now part of the Morrisons supermarket complex, pub is now a Domino's Pizza place (I Think).Area behind the shops was Jocks Lodge playing Fields, happy times playing rugby there in the '70's against Royal High FP, more fun in the clubhouse with Broughton FP team-mates, now sadly passed on.
