    Hi there - don't think I know the Miller's, sorry. However, I will ask my mother the next time I see her. We stayed 'right opposite' the little park you are talking about, so she might well know. I was 7 when I left there - so can't remember too much. Get back to you soon. Regards - Heather

  • Re: Blacklaw School by Tom Moore (Member 10121959) on 28-Jul-2004
    Hello Heather. From your enquiries you must have been in the same class as I was. I went to Blacklaw school from 1952 to 1958 before I went to Australia. I recognise some of the names you gave. I have a class photo of 1954 before you came but it should have faces you could recognise.

    Hello Heather,
    It was good to hear from you. I find it hard to remember the names of people at the school as I left so long ago. The photo I have is as a 7 year old in 1954. I came to Australia in 1958 but I remember Nancy very well. There was a new boy from the Orkney islands who arrived and was in my class. Let me know if you see the photos or I can send them to you.

    I can`t remember her sister but she was Jamaican and very dark. I used to dance with her all the time at school and enjoyed her company. I have some photos taken in the fifties at Woodmill rd and a 1954 class photo from Blacklaw school. Is there somewhere to send the photos. I may visit next year so I will post news when we will be there.

    G.Can remember a Lynn Martin,she had a brother,she lived in flats opposite phone box,I don't know if Tams Gran lived in Mackie Place,my Gran lived at no 13,opposite the start of the cottages,she stayed across from the linburn school secretary,think her name was Mrs Readie,or something similar.

  • Re: Woodmill High by TICH R (Member 10120788) on 14-Apr-2004
    Hey "memory woman"! still no clues as to where you lived then?? You fairly told that other dude off, the sign of a good Abbeyview girl, lol.

  • Re: Woodmill High by katz (Member 10114452) on 15-Apr-2004
    HI G, The only "Martin" that I can think of at this present time is Lynn,she lived opposite the phone box. Don't know about Tams Gran living in Mackie Pl, but my gran stayed in the 4 in a block flats just as you went down to the hairdressers. Still confused??ha ha

  • Re: Woodmill High by katz (Member 10114452) on 15-Apr-2004
    Disregard about. I made wee mistake. Can you remember Alistair Birkett,nutcase, if my memory serves me right,when the "tron.Pub" he drowned some kittens in the foundations,cruel,think he was put in Borstal. Can remember seeing St Col.school being built, Lynebank Hos. and also the houses in Touch,all this from the comfort of my living room window.

Mind you i think i remember all the "quiet" lassies. There wasn`t that many lol.

  • Re: Woodmill High by katz (Member 10114452) on 20-Apr-2004

    P.s. My bro did have a nickname S***,but dodn't think you'd know him,and although we were brother and sister we have no resembelance to each other,that should keep you guessing!!

  • Re: Woodmill High by TICH R (Member 10120788) on 23-Apr-2004

    Yeh, used to be, you should start up your own web site cos you remember some stuff. Think your right though, nobodys reading this board cept you and me, i`d actually forgotten what it was originally about. Anyway, thanks for the memories Katz, I think I`ll leave it now. Kinda fun not knowing who you are, maybe see you about, but then, I wouldn`t know ! Ha Ha. Take care.

  • Re: Woodmill High by G (Member 10123358) on 27-Apr-2004

    Hi G, So there are other people reading this board after all,So were you at school with me,and I know your wife,all I can say is you're a better detective than Tich,so how about some clues as to who you are!!!!

  • Re: Woodmill High by TICH R (Member 10120788) on 28-Apr-2004
    Ali, think youre getting muddled, the G on the noticeboard and the Tich in the noticeboard are two different people. Dont know who G is, but the message you left him was probably meant for me (Tich)By the way Ali, assume your male? and worked beside me at one time??

  • Re: Woodmill High by TICH R (Member 10120788) on 28-Apr-2004
    Woah!is it me thats muddled? Katz, G says he`s curious to know who you are,then goes on to say you know his wife. How does he know that if he`s curious to know who you are?? Good luck sorting that lot out then !!

  • Re: Woodmill High by TICH R (Member 10120788) on 28-Apr-2004
