i used 2 live in the redbridge flats, never seen old pics of them before they were 'done up' lol. i live in whifflet now, i kinda remember the way it looked years ago when i was young but its grea 2 actually see pics :D
only moved to Whifflet at Calder Park about 5 years ago and its great to see what coatbridge looks like 40 years before i was even born, use to be beautiful, dont know if i can say the same for it now.
My mother watched this video today and she said it brought tears to her eyes. She was born and raised in Coatbridge and immigrated to Canada in April 1959. Thank-you for providing the fond memories !! My grandfather was Richard (Dick) Hamilton and was a milk man for many years and then became a bartender for many years to follow. If anyone thinks they knew any of the Hamilton's .. let me know!
wow thanks for this i'm a born and bred coatbridge woman and its nice to see this my mum and dad talk about the old days in coatbridge but i can only remember the 90's where i stayed in whifflett (i'm 21), i remember goin to Tommy Tangos with a quid and getting a can of irn bru and some sweeties xx thanks again
This takes me back too, to a friendlier era altogether, the pic of Whifflet Cross reminds me of when at just 8yrs of age we walked to Gibson;s Church (round the corner from the Big Tree) to go to the Brownie's. Got chips and walked back home, all of us the same age, no parents around and sometimes we got the bus; the chips were threepence and the bus fare one and three halfpence. Seeems a hundred yrs ago but is in fact only 50!!!!!
