About this memory
(L-R) – Hazel Muir, Laura Muir, Chris Bell.
“As you can see a sort of post-war house of a prefab nature, flat roof. We were the upstairs flat – three bedrooms, kitchen and living room, coal house, and coat cupboard in hallway, through glass door at top of stone stairs.The main door was at the side.
“The group is standing in the drying green. Further up was a huge stretch of land, good for football, etc. A hedge divided our [garden] from downstairs [garden]. The house is no longer there – council pulled them down. We had a great view over the Forth to front.” – Evelyn Muir (née Mobbs)
