main st, blantyre

[stephen7]

hi all,
looking for a great favour from some kind sole.
i have posted a pic of main st, blantyre, taken some 50 plus years ago, the building on the left is where i was born( too many years to remember) i believe it is now the memorial to the mine disaster. i  was wondering/hoping someone could recreate the pic as it is now, so i can see/compare the differences/progress between then and now.
thanks

hi tom,
thanks for the reply, had a lookat the map, doesn'tmean a lot to me, i left blantyre in 19??.( as a small boy)  i seem to remember the number 305 as the address,(although not sure, the old grey matter isn't what it used to be,) an elderly aunt mentioned the memorial is there now, i presumed on the exact spot.
thanks again
