Bygone Days (Coatbridge) Part 1

[@dannymcinnes8394]

Thanks very much for this - can't tell you much I enjoyed it. Was born at the back end of the 50's and these images bring it all flooding back.

Thats true. Coatbridge is always shown as a poor town. It never shows my family life in drumpellier and blairhill. It is a great town. I would like to see the whole town. Not just the so called poor areas.

Graham I presumed you had put these photo's on you tube, do you know who has done this?

[@irenecraig8889]

Sorry, but I didn't enjoy this very much. Where are photos of the OTHER buildings in Coatbridge that were (and still are) a whole lot more interesting that a bunch of crappy pubs? These photos show C/bridge at its very worst.

You can take the girl out of Coatbridge, but you can t take Coatbridge out of the girl.

In the sixties Coatbridge was a dump and still is. It had more pubs than any other town. Sorry just a fact !
