I worked in the office at Bonar Long and was office girl and then secretary for about 3 years to the works manager whose name was Roy MaCdonald, so I think it may have been his dad. I left in 1960 to go to another job but still have fond memories of my days at Bonar Long. As a teenager I remember going to Kidds dancing and to the Chalet at Broughty Ferry. I now live in rural Manitoba, Canada. I am 67 years old now but still have many happy memories of my time growing up in Dundee.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/downfield-days"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> </div> Bank Avenue High Street Kingsway 1950's Dancing / Dance Halls Food and Drink School Days Work / Working Life Linda Myles Broughty Ferry Downfield Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:23:05 +0000 lynne.davidson 707 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
