Nice comparison - now and then. 1965 and 50% of the vehicles in the top picture are Fords. 2011 and again 50% of the vehicles shown in the lower picture are also Fords.
It must be getting darker these days in Garrioch Street as there are now 2 lamp posts where in 1965 there were none.

Pauline, picture #25692 was taken inside your hoose number 7, about 50 years ago . That is Laurie Hale nee Wylie and sister of Lynn, they lived in number 7

Those lamps were just put in a few months ago and it took them a few months to do it.

Thanks! just had a look at picture #25692. Brill can't believe how little it had changed when we bought it ten years ago.
