Our Home "When My wife and I married in 1971, our first home was No.2 Gorgie Cottages. The rent was £1.10/- (£1.50p) per week and the lady in the sweetie shop next door took the rent money for you." |
|
Our Home "In July 1973 we were given notice by the EH Council that the cottages were to be demolished, and we were to be given a new Council home. I took this photo on a Brownie 127 Camera in 1974 as they were tearing the cottages down down." |
|
Location "They replaced the cottages with new flats that are now called 'Coxfield'. The are named after the glue works there, which may have have owned the site." |
