Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 St Catherine's Road? That's what I thought think you are right. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Walking up the Dunkeld Road I see where you are coming from but if you are right the building in the right background should be St Andrew's Cathedral but it does seem to have windows. I think perhaps Old High St continuing towards Jeanfield from the previous much discussed picture which would make that building the corner of Lickley St. and it does look like it. Then again maybe I'm thinking about Barrack St. and you are further along nearer to the old Muirton Park. Rare fun these old pictures, Chips should get an award. chips, Ginger Bakers rebel army and Dave Ferg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree probably not Dunkeld Road but not far off the mark. Need to re visit this one, done in by Chips again! chips and south inch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wait for Chips (or Hoodlum) to put us right. Back to the other picture, I'm now wondering if St Catherine's Road started at the garage and the foreground is the end of Caledonian Road.

HOODLUM65 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Funeral march looks to be when the road continued up the old high st and passed the railway depot to the left of the picture and approaching end of Elibank St. which was a through road,( also cobbled,) which connected with Glasgow Road. Seems they are heading to Jeanfield/Wellshill cemetery via bridge over rail line, where the Fire station is now P.S. Posted when I saw the photo, then noticed sixties post further down. Well done sixties, your older than you look.. Edited April 11, 2017 by HOODLUM65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
