Second Row

Apologies for drifting away from the original post, but now you've got me puzzling as to the particular model my Dad had.

I've had a look online and at first I thought it may have been this black one, but the fins go right up to the top of the radiator.

The chrome embellishments on the side of the bonnet are the same as in my photo.

Also has the sunshine roof.

OK you guys, having been reluctantly drawn into this lengthy debate (), I now offer a piccy of my Dad's car from bygone years as a  possible candidate.

A wee bit before my time!

On page 1 of this topic (last picture), to the left of Masons shop, there is a doorway ,and when i Zoom in i can see two young guys there.I know its a long shot,but is there any way to enhance the picture to enable me to identify who the young guys are? It could be me!!

it appears to be only one figure. White stripe down arm of tracksuit top? The other white spot you are seeing is probably the handle of the door.

(The photo was taken on the 24th April 1977, from a not-very-stable 60' cherry-picker some distance away!)

The slogan Hil-Chib was sprayed on the wall by a Millburn school pupil to antagonize a gang from the High school who called themselves "The Togs." I think i sprayed it there about 1975 and i had totally forgot about it until i saw it here.Hil-Chib used to hang about the Hilton chipper and Lochardil.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Bet you never thought that it would be talked about after 40-odd years! (I get the "Hil" bit, where did the "Chib" come from?)

It rhymes with the note before ...."T....a drink with jam and bread"

I haven't been on this site for a while, but good to see this topic is still running.

Is this a photo of................Q*** Street, ***tr**?

The photos were taken 27th May 1988.

As you said, the nursery went the full length of Bumber's Lane (Balnacraig Road)
This OS plan was surveyed in October 1962 before any development had taken place.

......."but can't see the houses on Fairfield road that ran up to the Canal. On the East side they were stone-built  ones and on the other side of the Street they were those which were started about the 1940's as the commencement  of the Dalneigh build."

Keep in mind that the 35mm photo was taken from about two miles away so the foreshortening is quite pronounced.

Hopefully,you can see the backs of the stone-built houses on Fairfield Road. At the end of the Bumber's Lane you can see the first of the council houses on Fairfield Road.

All the photos were taken on the morning of 27th May 1988.
