My late mother Rita Elder (nee Gillan) was born in Dundee but left in the forties to come up to Peterhead with my father Edward Elder who was born in Carnoustie. My mother was brought up in Brook Street and did in fact work in the jute mills, maybe even the coffin mill. Mother never forgot Dundee and was a frequent visitor coming back at every opportunity. I wish in fact that Mum and Dad had returned to live in Dundee as we seem to spend quite a lot of time going back for weekends and shopping. God bless you Dundee for you have given me and many other happy memories.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/dundee-and-dundonians"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> Brook Street Broughty Ferry Road 1940's Childhood Family Work / Working Life Gavin Elder Mon, 14 Mar 2011 10:17:08 +0000 lynne.davidson 625 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
