Hi my grandparents lived in the block opposite the school, and as a pupil there is the 1950's I woiuld stand at the gate and wave to them at playtime. I remember the sweet shop down the brae, we used to buy penny caramels, or a poke of sherbert with a stick of liquorice! As the jars of sherbert were used, Mrs Clow would mix them together, and sell it as rainbow sherbert. I lived on Craigneuk Street above the Co-op shop, and my best friend was Helen Ewing who lived on Beehive Brae. Remember using the Shields Road café as our place to meet up with friends, and also walk to Fir Park on a Saturday to watch Motherwell play. We weren't allowed to go the picture house as it didn't have a good reputation, not sure why. I attended Belhaven Church until I moved away in 1967. Many hapoy memories of childhood good to see all the old photographs.
