41 Leven Street Buildings beside our Back Green "Beside our house at 41 Leven Street we had a pend and a back green. It was between the Auld Toll Bar and Mr McNaughton's wee plumber's shop, which later became a cafe. In the pend were: - Mr Balderstone's wee place where they worked on tile fireplaces. - Mr McNaughton's a work building, ,just a wee one. - A bigger building where the pub used to store beer. They would bring in the kegs in a couple of times a week. Return Visit in 1970 "When we returned to have a look at our auld hoose in 1970, we found 3 empty kegs lying around, so I assume the pub still uses this building for there beer. There just happened to be one keg beside the back green, so my sister posed for me there." We found that there is now a big door on the front of the close near our auld hoose, Leven Close. You now need a key to get in." Margaret Williamson (née Hay), Moline, Illinois, USA: December 3 + 10, 2012 |
