Remember dancing on the pool table after the cup winning parade in '98 and sitting out the back door on the empty kegs as the place was heaving. Lovely sunny day it was too. It was also a handy place to pick up some dancing sweeties on the way into town after the match. Edit. I also had my first run-in with Big Bernie in there. He took exception to my dreadlocks (Henrik Larsson was battering them in for the terrorists at the time), and started calling me a fenian white n*****. Didn't have much to do with him after that.

No. I’ve got Waitrose. The wee church opposite Falcon House. Can’t get the third or the fourth. The fifth is Morningside Station and I’m sure the sixth one (the church) isn’t Morningside at all.

That wee church place, opposite Falcon House (where my mum lived latterly) has been there forever and I’ve never seen it open! Never ever heard of Falcon Hall but guess it’s near Falcon Gardens.

FORTHCLYDE Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 In 1911, when the firm moved to new premises in Duncan Street, Edinburgh, the central portion of the Falcon Hall facade was re-erected on this new site, where it remains today.

Sharpie Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Living in Edinburgh you must have seen the transition and change, but looking at pictures of an area that I grew up in and worked in the change is nothing less than mind boggling. Beaumont Place was featured, I knew it well, but even the slight change by demolition and fifty one years made me hesitate, the today picture of the same street is just unbelievable. I have never since all my family are gone have had a big desire to return, but I think now I would be intimaidated by the fear of the changes I would see.
