Disgrace that is the Ferry of today

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Who would ever have thought that the Ferry would be captured at night like this ?!!

I used to model fer Dave

Found it

[Charles Bannerman]

Found it

Nonsense IHE! That's just one of your homoerotic fantasies!

 

The only time anyone took your photo was full facial and profile at a certain establishment in Farraline Park in the 70s.

Well I had to catch buses on a daily basis

Talking about photties - can anyone spot the difference ?

Drove round the Ferry in the summer, was remarkably sedate, all windows of glass, cars everywhere, no threatening stares. 

 

Very disappointed I must say.

A very thoughtful Charlie B..in an Academy jacket reminiscing about the chocolate bars of his youth.

 

Very fetching picture though of an intellectual amongst us.

The things you will do to publicise a book! If I was as technologically competent as Scotty I would post one of me in an almost identical blazer in 1970 rather than 2009.

As long as you restrict your nakedness to the bathroom then we're probably all happy!

[Scarlet Pimple]

It's just that I thought you looked rather "bookish" that's all.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

And another modern day cracker ?

Scorguie with the left hand shoulder of Craig Phadrig at the edge of the photo?

Ain't Sneckie beautiful ?

In parts it is IHE, unfortunately a lot of it is a showdown of the town it once was.

 

Parts of the centre are an eyesore such as Church Street and Union Street to name two.

Mr Bain takes brilliant photos!!

Yip amongst others

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

It always looks so much better at night

When are the Council going to do something about the carbuncle-esque crofters commission buildings? No need to knock them down, even just renovating the ugly 1960s exterior like they have with the former HIE building across the road would be a huge improvement. It's long overdue!

Alex, they are not Council owned buildings.

[JockWatt]

The Sneck never looked as good in the 1940s-60s !!!

[Scarlet Pimple]

Nice photo, though, Jock. Smile

Here is a scene that Jock would have witnessed in his hey day whilst walking the streets of Sneck and the other if he was walking home from the Caley Club tonight
