I hope I am not being pedantic but isn’t it “Gardeners’ Street” and not “Gardener Street”? 🙂
The tall chimney is that belonging to Walker Reid’s Albany Works linen manufactory.
Remember there were corner shops on nearly all the corners going up Townhill rd
Used to be a butchers shop on left half way up Townhill Rd . Think it was between Albany Street and Rose Street?
Think this shop was a wee jewellers mid 70’s
The wee shop on the corner was lastly called ” The Tardis” which gave the punter a chance for a nice wee sandwich and coffee!!!!!
I used to work at James Scott just around the far corner in the distance and I remember the fire that consumed the factory and blew a transformer.
I lived at number 44 gardener street. 1949 til1960 the shop on the corner was called criukshanks and the butchers chisolms
I worked at Elliott Paisley in the early 80s.(now City Plumbing I think?!). I remember David Simpson the plumber and the wee jewellery shop. The Smyths has the wee corner shop at that time.
This was just over the hill from our house.
I lived at 44, bottom flat on the right from 1971 to 1979 I think, was 11 when we left.
I like it
