We stayed three years came back and stayed in Whitfield with my Grandmother Julie Roberts them moved to Glenrothes. Three years later we moved back to New Zealand again. I have been back twice over the years 1981 and 1992 and had the pleasure of bringing my wife and two daughters back to Fintry and Dundee. It had changed so much and it is so good to see the old Fintry photos and old Dundee photos, thanks so much. I have shown my 12 year old Grandson the photos.</p> Fincraig Street Childhood Martin (Marty) Roberts Fintry Whitfield Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:41:58 +0000 lynne.davidson 1281 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk Streets Now Gone http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/streets-now-gone <div class="content clear-block"> <p><span class='wysiwyg_imageupload image imgupl_floating_right imgupl_styles_spacing_20_black_border\n\rBlack Border'><a href="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/wysiwyg_imageupload_lightbox_preset/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/scottfyffe.png" rel="lightbox[wysiwyg_imageupload_inline]" title=""><img src="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/medium/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/scottfyffe.png" alt="" title="" class="imagecache wysiwyg_imageupload imgupl_styles_spacing_20_black_border\n\rBlack Border imagecache imagecache-medium" style="" width="230" height="165" /></a> <span class='image_meta'></span></span>I was born in 1930, within a cottar-house on Milton of Craigie Farm, long gone, but B &amp; Q and ASDA are sited there. I think 1930 was the year of the darkest day in Dundee, when some people thought the end of the world had come.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/streets-now-gone"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> </div> Albert Street Dura Street Forfar Road Mains Loan 1930's Childhood Family Food and Drink Housing School Days Street Life Jean Craigie / Craigiebank Douglas Maryfield Mid Craigie Stobswell Whitfield Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:40:56 +0000 lynne.davidson 693 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk Whitfield 1968 http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/whitfield-1968 <p><span class='wysiwyg_imageupload image imgupl_floating_right imgupl_styles_spacing_20_black_border\n\rBlack Border'><a href="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/wysiwyg_imageupload_lightbox_preset/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/whitfield1971.png" rel="lightbox[wysiwyg_imageupload_inline]" title=""><img src="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/medium/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/whitfield1971.png" alt="" title="" class="imagecache wysiwyg_imageupload imgupl_styles_spacing_20_black_border\n\rBlack Border imagecache imagecache-medium" style="" width="230" height="165" /></a> <span class='image_meta'></span></span>I remember moving in to Whitfield from Broughty Ferry in October 1968.</p> 1960's Housing Jean Tully Broughty Ferry Whitfield Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:18:29 +0000 lynne.davidson 690 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
