wentworth jambo Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 3 hours ago, Maroon Sailor said: Ah, another memory rekindled - Hamilton Street (from Fort House)...down the road on the left corner, Ceily's sweet shop - used to go in there and ask "What can I get for a penny ?" - "4 things out of the bottom tray"..."I'll just take one then cos I've nae money !!". Remember watching them knock these tenements down as well - no health and safety - knocked down with a wrecking ball and 1 guy standing at the top of the road telling people "If yir gaun doon there, watch yir heed!"

Its a guess based on some memory, but I know for sure its not Lutton Place or Rankeillor Street. The fact that the buildings on gthe corner have gone changes my perspective of the street, but its awful familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife comes from that side of town and it was her that guessed Lutton or Rankeillor. I’ll have to spank her for getting it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
