    Glad you liked the site Cat. Cardboard Banjo (jacko) is on the people and places page of the site - for the homepage, click the link below.

    I'm sorry but I don't know the other ladies names on that photo or their whereabouts now but you could ask on the forum of Scottie Press or on the genealogy thread on this site.

    When this was a wash-house this street was called Beamish Street. Now it's part of Park Road. There can't be many of these buildings left.

    My job at Steble street wash house in the sixties was to keep an eye on nice sheets and counterpane covers for the women. I charged a shilling or sometimes a tanner. That would get me five woodbines and a cup of tea. Nothing ever went on my watch
    Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
    Time held me green and dying
    Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
