One thought on “Balfron memories”

  1. I lived in the house called Waverley from 1947 until, I think 1957 before we moved to Dunibert in Station Road.
    I have many memories of my early life there, including Mr Taylor’s blacksmiths shop. It was so exciting to watch him at work.
    Thé Waverley hall was much used in those days. I remember as a little girl playing a very honky-Tonk piano at little children’s concerts. I remember Mr Burns-Begg and the Band of Hope.
    Mr Ruglan at the cafe would make chips on a Saturday. That was a real treat in those days!
    Thé cinema( thé Mclintock hall) had very hard benches at the front and if my memory serves me well, I think they cost 9d. Thé double divans at the back were much more expensive!

    Buchanan street was so different then. Going down a little set of steps to get to the sweetie shop. A little bell tinkled when you opened the door to Miss Finlay’s shop. Oh the nostalgia!
