"Christine Anderson  has an amazing memory.  This photo was taken in 1950 but Christine identifies everyone in it.  I recognised my sister as I was browsing your web site, even though I wasn't born till 1953.  And sure enough, Christine has labelled her correctly as Carol Munro."

Neighbours

"Elsewhere on the |EdinPhoto site, Christine names all the neighbours in the stair of no 2 East William Street.  My family were Charles, Mary, Sonny and Carol Munro. I'm completely fascinated by this, to see them remembered before my birth.  It's odd as I've never seen them listed like that without me!
