Another roundabout ?!!

[IBM]

Easy IHE the junction of Raigmore Brae & Millburn Road, you can see Harbour Road on the other side of the railway, at that time the first building on the left would be the slaughter house and on the right was Autosales garage.  Millburn caravan park which I think closed late 60's.  The D series Ford would be a 10 tonner, there is a Rover 90 on the left & Mk1 Ford Escort on the right at the filling station.

To the extent that there were not infrequent confrontations with those gentlement of Sneck who were not at the front or who, after the Armistice, had returned home.

Can you see Andy Murray's grandad ?

Bellfield Park. Top to bottom - Carig Dunain, the RNI, the Bellfield Pavilion and the Tennis Courts.

the Craig is intereresting because the trees across the top which were such a feature when I was a kid in the 60s aren't even there so this must be a very old one indeed.

There's an atricle in today's Courier (which I haven't had time to read yet) about the American minelayers/sweepers in Inverness and one of them who married a local girl.

And who cares about the Davis Cup

[Scarlet Pimple]

Charles--, imagine if that article referred to my aunt--remember I told you about the yankee boy she married and left home to spend the rest of her life in Missouri. Can you send me a copy of that article please?

Yes, I know.... but don't tell the guy who compiles the Inverness Remembered books because he already moans about new Bridge Street about 20 times in each edition which actually rather spoils an otherwise excellent publication.

Apart from Macleod's Caravans has gone and is now flats.

Not much traffic about on the main old A9 and the driver of the Fordie Pop was probably in for a pint or two!

[Thorfinn]

Oh I hate to see good old classics like that Minx being banger-raced.But yes, I was there in the '70s watching it all go on.

 

They were, after all, just old bangers to us then.

What are they queuing up fer ?

[Charles Bannerman]

What are they queuing up fer ?

Just speculation, but could they be queueing near the station for a train to take them on an outing? It's just that they sort of look as if they are dressed for a day out.

Unless of course they are queueing to get served in the Hayloft.....

[IBM]

Must have been some queue if it was for a train!  The building with Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs is in Grebe Street and is currently a furniture shop and they are queueing through what is now Ogalvies Furniture car park up towards Beatons Lane and North Church Place which is at the rear of the Penticostal and Free Church.

Ah, I wondered if it might have been the buildings at the back of the station which were demolished to make way for the Eastgate Centre.

In that case I'm not sure what the queue would have been for, unless Free Presbyterian services were very popular in these days or the Great Unwashed of Inverness were especially in need of a bath at the old Friars Street pool.

Would you believe it is for the opening of the Swimming Baths ?!!
