A few photos (of many!) taken in Ardgowan Square over the years, where we lived for a while, and where my great-aunts lived for many years
My first car, 1957!
Out on the back green with my Mum, 1958...

A friend in Greenock sent me this photo of my aunts' old house, taken around 2003. I don't know who lives there now.

Hi Jane, these are lovely and what a treat for you to share with us personal reflections..they are really super and show your deep pride and love for the family.
The pictures tell so much of the bygone days and styles and how people were and always are proud, even though sometimes coyishly 'shy'. Super, thankyou, Denis.
Thank you Denis for your very kind comments!

Hi Melissa, Amazing to hear that you live there now! I'll try your email address as you've given it and I can answer any questions you might have, and tell you more about the history of the house.
Best wishes,
Jane

My email doesn't seem to be working, but I really only have one question. We have heard that the house used to be a doctors surgery. Could you tell me if this is true? I can't find any evidence but you may know.
Best wishes

Dear Melissa,
Yes, my Auntie Gwen had her surgery in one of the front rooms for many years - I am sending you an email with more details. Hope you receive it - let me know if not!
Best wishes, Jane X
Such great clear photos of you as a child and a teen. You are so pretty and look happy in them. How amazing that you went back to see your old home.
