Amazing! I was 6 years old in 59 and it is just how it was. The house at the beginning is exactly like the one I lived in, but to the left was lots of trees it could have been the next street before or after though? It was 'Reid Place' anyway. A big van would constantly drive in to the roads to sell groceries then and you would stand in queue, fantastic as a kid rambling about then!

9:09: swings on concrete. None of that rubber stuff or woodchip to fall on into those days. We got proper injuries.

Soaring strings! Such optismism about manufacturing and coal! Dressing up to see the Queen! And staggering sexism, of course.

The houses look very stark and prison-like compared to the houses in New Towns elsewhere in Britain, like Harlow or Stevenage. It looks like they were trying to save money even more in Scotland compared to England. Maybe something to do with that famous Presbyterian prudence - of never spending a penny more than you could get away with.

Passionate gardeners? Walk around those houses now and you'll see weed infested eyesores with junk piled about.
