willie43 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Im trying to locate Shuttlefield close on old survey maps but no joy yet,looking through Scotlands places this is the actual description given.. Shuttlefield Close - [Situation] Extends from South St to Canal St This close is situated a short distance from Malloch's Close and is equally abominable, the houses are old & in bad repair & the occupiers are the dregs of Society - Sergt [Sergeant] Gibson. City Police Mr Rollo Detective Force Name on Close At the sametime theres also Candlemakers close .. [Situation] Extends S. [South] from South St This close is situated on the South side of South Street and extends to canal Street. And Malloch's Close - [Situation] S. [South] side of South St. to Canal St. A narrow dirty lane leading from South Street to the east end of Canal Crescent I believe Shuttlefield Close is where Scott Street is now. Remember Scott Street is a fairly new street (in relation to the other streets). ps. How do I preview my posts before I post them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Shuttlefield close now demolished, was quoted as the original slum of Perth.

cristo Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Fav pic of the boating station I remember well, August 1972, an eight year old me and a guy from Balhousie St called Mackay hired a boat out on the river from that very spot, I was beginning to wonder if I'd imagined it even existed. Then up to Handyside's shop for sweets, then followed the crowds up to Muirton Park. It was the 7-3 game v Newcastle. Funny how because of one event (Supermac's goal), the whole day sticks in your mind like it was yesterday.. Wonder where we got the money for a day out like that ??? chips and Dave Ferg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine an 8 year old getting to hire a boat nowadays, they cana get a cup of tea at the fitba if they are under 14(?) I think now changed days indeed.
