I went to Mitchell Street School and then to Logie Secondary School. I left there when I was fourteen and went to work in Miss Thom's chemist shop in Forest Park Road. I left there after eighteen months and went to be a spreader in East Port Calender Works in the Cowgate.</p> Benvie Road Forest Park Road Mitchell Street 1930's Childhood School Days Chrissie Polepark Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:24:44 +0000 lynne.davidson 595 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/proud-dundonian <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/magdalen.png" rel="lightbox[wysiwyg_imageupload_inline]" title=""><img src="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/medium/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/magdalen.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 went to the Blackie till 1966 and left to go to the Logie. I lived in Forest Park Road and used to go playing down Polepark, Mitchell Street and all over the Hawkhill. Moved to the Perth Road and used to play down the Magdalen Green. Great bunch of pals, Ally Millar, Ronnie Hoppel etc. All we seemed to do was play football and ice hockey, brilliant. We'd play in the Winter (football) down Seafield Road under the lamps, there was not the traffic then.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/proud-dundonian"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> Forest Park Road 1960's Childhood Football Games Sport Alan (Micky) McDonald Blackness Polepark West End Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:31:01 +0000 lynne.davidson 556 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
