Jeepers. Are you going to take any photographs before everything gets razed?

Tell me something...do you find it difficult to keep up with all the landscape changes? I find that not being around to adjust to each change makes me feel overwhelmed when I see photos of the massive changes that have taken place since I was last in Clydebank. I wonder if you have a sense of difficulty too, of if my experience is the result of my inability to make small adjustments as they happen.

Let me know if you're taking pics!

ROBERT!!  It's GREAT to see you around. I thought you must have paddled off to the South Pacific to bask on the warm sand.

How've you been? Taken any photos lately?

I hope you're well.

Oh NO! I went to Braidfield. In Home Economics class we had to make a steam pudding. I burnt mine to a frazzle - and it was on the day the school inspector came round. The teacher was so mad at me she made me eat every last bit of the steam pudding, charcoal and all.

Demolished? Oh, gracious. It was a brand new school, only built a couple of years or so before I went there. Surely it's still a sound structure...?

Can you get any photos of it before they raze it, Sputnik?

Fascinating post.  Grew up in Alexander street from 1952 to 1968 attended OHR & St Pats and like many others have lost contact with my roots . Really interesting pictures & info which certainly bring back memories of the way we were!  Many thanks.

Where are you now, John?

I don't know if you checked all the posts right back to the beginning, but you'll find some great photos that some of the members have generously posted. They're worth checking out.

Dorothy
