There was, I remember it being just a bit farther towards Bristo, a wee bit to the right of this photo. I seem to remember buying something there as late as 1971??

One of my maths teachers at secondary school lived in it. They all got a £100 (I think) inconvenience payment to have the ariels on the building taken down for filming. The film company obviously paid for them being taken down and replaced. A fair chunk of a weeks wages in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep think so but not for long because he moved to Hawick not long after he joined the Fire Brigade. I grew up with him from age of 5, we lived in the same street and we started going to the games together at the same time, traveled on the same supporters buses, drank with him et al up until he moved to Hawick and i left for a job in England. Sessions and Youngy two words that defo went together. It will be nearly a year since he passed, sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it well. The BT building was a glue factory, it then went past between a builder's merchant and the Roxy bingo then round back of Westfield court and down the side of pentland laundry which became IS initial laundry. Which had an air raid shelter where Wickes car park is then out the back of the iron foundry (new houses) into the water of leith Thanks for that, very interesting. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I certainly have never associated that building as a swimming pool. I only ever knew it, until recently, as a pub.
