chips Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Looking forward to the then and now pics Chips, you are a star. Hopefully I'll get time to do this over the next couple of weeks or so. Just a case of uploading some of the decent pics onto my phone then having a wee tour around and try and capture the same areas etc. Then a bit of work to do with the images on the comp. I'll try and not turn it into a pub crawl Ginger Bakers rebel army, south inch and 55saint 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ferg Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Horrified how ignorant I am of my home town. The "before and after" idea is excellent Chips. Thanks again for your effort. I'd love a wander around Perth to see the places pictured but that would definitely end up a pub crawl! fazman1977 and Ginger Bakers rebel army 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'm out of likes for today ya handsome bunch you I think I've mentioned in the past but I am interested in trying out a then and now project with selected pics. Even to the point of superimposing them together, be a fair bit of work involved but might be fun How about a then and now of pubs in "The Golden Mile" it could be a fun day out although not as much as the 70's/80's due to amount of pub closures since then.

Center Half Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah,. Empty for ages & now a bike shop. Think there is still a hairdresser next door. Wouldn't imagine the same business though. It was Hays electrical contractor for years late seventies into the eighties anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejksjfc Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Without deviating off Glasgow Road/County Place/South Street ( which apparently is acceptable nowadays if you can see somewhere) I think I only make it 10 bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Old photograph of women and children in partially demolished tenement houses in Shuttlefield Close in Perth. Shuttlefield Close was where the shuttles were made for the weavers trade. "Scotland places" describes this as a thoroughfare between South St and Canal St. "One of the many dirty closes".

HOODLUM65 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 St Johns place different years..sorry no more info/dates Correct me if I'm mistaken, but think this is now Café Tabou, which was previously occupied by Mcleod Glaziers, before their move to North Methven St. and since moved to Inveralmond Industrial Estate.

Joined Canal St at the car showroom. To be honest no got a Scooby. The last opening between South St. and Canal St. before Princes Street. is down the side of the former Farm foods store, (which you are probably aware of) which is Cow vennel. The top of bollards at either end of the vennel are in the shape of a cows head. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
