I'm sure it was a foundry opposite us on Larch Street, and a huge open midden around the corner on Urquhart Street. A penny dainty from the corner shop on the way to school was a treat to look forward to.</p> Larch Street Urquhart Street 1950's Housing School Days Ray S Fintry Linlathen Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:36:09 +0000 lynne.davidson 723 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
