We had a gang called the 'Black Hand Gang' and had to pay to be a member. We had moms cellar for our gang, we lived at 21, at the top, great view of the Tay Bridge. I found an old groat in the ground floor and still have it. Also we found a grenade at Cosgrove's yard. My grans paper shop was the last shop on the Hawkhill across from Dempsters the bakers. I suppose we could all write a book. Hawkhill School at the teacher Miss Pringle say no more.</p> Step Row Childhood School Days Jack Knight Hawkhill Tue, 10 Jul 2012 13:03:36 +0000 fiona.christison 974 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
