    I noticed that the Montrose club, Whitefield rd has been demolished - I cut through that way yesterday and was surprised to see it has gone.

    Strangely the outline where it used to be didn't look all that big, yet the club was a reasonable size with lots of tables and quite a big dance floor and a stage and cloakrooms. I think there was a back room too.
    You'd wonder where it all fitted in when you see the outline. (or 'footprint' to use the latest phrase! )

    Think I know what you mean by




    The Montrose did get a bit of a reputation

    It started out ok years ago and there were some good groups and comedians on there. The last few years it changed and went all rowdy.
    I heard some tales about that place !

    Oh no no! I didnt mean I need to go to the club, I meant I need to get to the streets which are about to come down!

    Yes, it's a nice speck there. The houses have a pleasant outlook onto the trees.

    Just the traffic a bit hectic.

    They chop the buggers back to the gills every year and they still grow back. There used to be twice as many until they thinned them and took out alternate trees years back. My Nanna went ballistic at the workmen for chopping down 'her tree' and demanded a chunk of it to keep in the house.

    I love the Albert. Remember going in there one match day with my Ma and daring to ask for a red wine, the response was to the point "Wine? We don't sell wine" double brandy was what she got
    Incidentally, my Ma was the Arkles barmaid for quite a while during the 60's and has told me how they used to have to turn off the Guinness on a match day because it took too long to pour!
