One Resident Remains Most of the houses at Pennywell are now empty, awaiting demolition. In this block at the eastern end of Pennywell Gardens, there was just one resident remaining when the photo was taken on December 14, 2006. The occupant was Stanley Lawson, aged 69, living in his one-bedroom ground floor flat. He has refused to accept alternative accommodation. This block will have to be demolished to allow a replacement for Craigroyston High School to be built. |

Details of the occupant and the new school appeared in Evening News November 16, 2006; pp.20-21. |

Eviction After barricading himself in his home for five months, Stanley Lawson was taken by surprise when sheriff officers arrived at his home at 9am on April 4 2007, to evict him. They took possession of his home. Evening News, April 5, 2007: p.9. |
