Darn i lived there 20 years from 1960-80 and don't have one photo of Southie from that time.
I was lucky I saw the best years, my mum & dad stayed another 10 and in the end were very, very happy to get out of the scheme they loved.
Hi Alex
Got you,, Parkhouse farm i know but i can't recall ever visiting the area of the Castle. It looks big enough not to miss but i think that one slipped bye my wanderings. Another place on the to see list.

I remember when it was all houses around here...
Did i mention before this was a take away it was a great wee chippy, Its original use was the Doctors surgery.
But when that closed we had to get the 49 round to the one in Barrhead Rd.
Once i went on the bus with my mum holding a towel to my eyebrow that i had split open. I got 5 stitches and a lolly off the doc for being such a brave boy.
Now i think mums would call an Ambulance.

I don't remember the doctors' surgery, but I remember immediately pre-Sky Dragon it was one of the 'Victor' chain of chippies.

There's some points of reference between these two photos. Where the wee bus is parked in Fjord's photo is where the 49 bus in the photo below is sitting. The pale coloured tenement is also on both photos:-
Also Jock, if you look through the lower deck windows of the Smiths bus, you can make out part of the Co-op store you mentioned earlier.
Hi Neil
Ah proof of the CO-OP
THose white letter i can see are the same size as the one's that were above Maxi's and i think all the shops early on.
The 49 terminus was out side my bedroom window so visiting relitive did not sleep much as they were mostly put in my room.
I never noticed the bus noise
OK i have one photo of Southie C.81 but i did not put it up as i don't know how much of interest it will be. My daughter in my mums veranda.
One thing you will note the trees are gone from the roundabout another the original colour of the row on whitacers it was the same as all the rest of the scheme. I have no idea when it was painted red.
