I was an only child and we had lived only a&nbsp;few hundred yards away in a one bedroomed first floor tenement flat at 76&nbsp;James Street.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/great-life-multis"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> Alexander Street James Street Buildings/Structures Childhood Housing Dorothy Goldie Hilltown Mon, 19 Jan 2015 15:38:45 +0000 lynne.davidson 1295 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/forever-my-heart <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/boys.png" rel="lightbox[wysiwyg_imageupload_inline]" title=""><img src="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/medium/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/boys.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>Born 1928.
