I lived in the square in Shepherd's &nbsp;Loan, in my Granny Ogilvie's house. It had four rooms and a toilet. I went to Hawkhill School. My grandfather Hall lived under Cox's Stack in a big grey house. One of my friends was Jean Navickas she lived across the square. There was Mary Gatley and Helen Davies who lived above us. We emigrated to Australia in 1951. I told my friend Jean that I would be back in two years for a holiday but didn't get back for another 50 years and then my memories were all gone.</p> Hawkhill Shepherd's Loan 1939-1945 Childhood Elizabeth Hall Clement Park Hawkhill Tue, 06 Jan 2015 09:08:44 +0000 lynne.davidson 1291 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk Downfield Tram http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/downfield-tram <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/densrd.png" rel="lightbox[wysiwyg_imageupload_inline]" title=""><img src="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/medium/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/densrd.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>My mother, brothers and I used to get Downfield tram which stopped outside our closie in Dens Road to go to the berries at Downfield or go to the Sidlaws on a Sunday for a picnic. We had to walk from the terminus but we used to enjoy all this when we were young. I lived in Clement Park and went to Harris Academy on our special tram.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/downfield-tram"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> Dens Road 1950's Childhood Family Picnics / Outings Anonymous Clement Park Downfield Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:01:35 +0000 lynne.davidson 568 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
