Carron Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Remember when Bon Accord delivered lemonade? They had school age teens employed, used to see them sitting on the back of the lorry amongst the crates. Wouldn't get away with it now owing to 'elf and safety'. Their depot was in Tulloch Road, long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carron Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Okay not retail, but, staying in Tulloch, the railway yard in Tulloch is away too. Would have loved to have climbed up the lighting towers just for the view. A large chunk of the Tulloch works is now houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Dorrans who used to make prefab hooses in the Tulloch works then shipped all over Scotland. When I was serving my apprenticeship our brickies used to do the foundations for them and they were in some feckin oot of the way places, a wee bit of Perth everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a cafe in it as well. Prior to being the Kinnoull club this was the replacement for the washhoose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the Road Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Need help for the father-in-law, he's racking his brains trying to remember the name of the joiners that was on the corner of Riggs Road and Jeanfield before Gregs Glazing was there. Edit: he minds of it being Robbs, but the one before that. Probably looking at some of our older members here!
