My gran used to live to the right of picture (now demolished) and she was moved into a place right across the street to the houses behind the shelter. In the 60s I would see Willie Bauld walking here - did he live somewhere in Niddrie. He walked from Niddrie under the railway towards the No4 bus stop. Never looked like a Hearts legend, always was alone. Loving this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked for the pipe coaters most people's wages went to the bookies on a Thursday night. Seems like yesterday to me. I had a class mate who lived in Logie Green Loan in the 60s /70s and I'd regularly see Peter Cormack , Arthur Duncan in the area. John Hagart was his neighbour on one side and three doors down was Peter Marinello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a big bundle of autographed pics from him at the time of his Arsenal move. Chucked them in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
