Vintage images of Kilmarnock

[@G4RY1159]

I love these old videos showing us the past, thankyou very very much.

[@huskym6]

Goodness, this was a real treat! I am old enough to remember from experience some of the pictures, but the older ones were just wonderful to see, thank you so much!

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

So glad you enjoyed it. I grew up in the '60s and 70's so I remember the town before all the changes happened. Kilmarnock had such character.

[@tomhamilton5261]

Nice photos. I forever rememberKimarnock when it had Lauders, the Plaza cinema, the Kiosk Cafe, Campbells and Radio Doctors for the toys and the Regal. McMurrays and House of Fraser for quality department stores……..and the 5Th Dimension space age maze at Girvan.

Do you remember the hot dogs from the Kiosk?

[@tomhamilton5261]

@@celtic-minstrel yes - the best! and the Plaza and Regal cinemas. Scarlett’s at the roundabout. Not a bad town when you look back on it.

[@celtic-minstrel]

@tomhamilton5261 It was indeed, I was brought up in Gilmour St and went to Bentinck primary until '69.

I really enjoyed this Thankyou for uploading it 🥰

Great wee video. I was brought up in Hurlford, born 1960, so I recognized many places, but some were before my time. My aunt Jean lived at 10 Charles Street for a few years, so that photo was interesting.

Hi Jackie, loved your photos of old Kilmarnock. How things have changed and not for the better! You might remember me we were at the Grange Academy together, l now live in Chelmsford in Essex l have done for the last 23 years and work for the NHS on London. Glad you are doing well and I hope the book is selling well. Kind Regards Colin Martin

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

Great to hear from you Colin. Oh how times have changed? It is amazing how do many of us from Grange Academy have found ourselves so far flung! Best wishes to you and yours.

@@jacquelineheronwray6782 Hi Jackie, Lovely to hear from you, yes l have traveled the world in my procurement career especially in my time in the pharmaceutical industry. You are right a lot of us have come a long way from King Street to where we have been and where we are now! Just to say my oldest and best friend you might remember was Graeme Ritchie incase you didn’t know Graeme passed away in September 2019 l still speak to Shirley (Greg) his wife every week and she is doing ok. All the best to you and yours Colin x

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

I did hear about Graeme, only recently. Tragic. A reminder to us all to live life to the full.

Amazing photos!!

[@ScottishIndyNow]

Brilliant. Spent the first 6 years of my life in Gilmour St. Happy days.

[@celticminstrel8252]

I used to live in Gilmour st. the old sandstone tenements.

[@rossyuill5842]

Amazing love history especially about my home town 😃

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

Kilmarnock used to have such character!

[@rossyuill5842]

Yes it did so and some bits of it still have 👌 great history as well 😃

[@scottowens656]

Ha Ha Mike and Monty go digging, best of luck with the book. 👍👍👍

[@SJ47668]

Great photos but you need to slow it down a bit - barely get a chance to read the location and the image is gone.

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

I have tried, but can't work out how to do it. Sorry

[@SJ47668]

@@jacquelineheronwray6782 did it start as a PowerPoint? If so it’s easy to slow it down in “timing”.

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

@@SJ47668 Hi, no it wasn't a PowerPoint. It syncs with the music and I try to choose the slowest I can find on offer. Not great with technology I am afraid!

[@vamboroolz1612]

If you click on the three dots icon you can adjust the speed of the video. I played it at 1/4 speed and its perfect that way. Still paused it every now and then when there was too much to take in.

[@SJ47668]

@@vamboroolz1612 oh, that worked a treat. Thanks. I’ve used KZbin for years and didn’t know I could do that.

[@scottowens656]

Brilliant photos Jacqueline, Are you going to do one on Ayr, better still do one on metal detecting with Mike. 👍👍

[@katharinamacconnachie6523]

These pictures are brilliant as l only came to Scotland 1954 from overseas as father was in the army

[@johnsmith-xr1uh]

We had a nice wee town at one time

[@vamboroolz1612]

The old A1 bus station. I remember round the back of it there was a window displaying a model bus. When they were knocking the bus station down, I tried to get that model as a kid but no way was I getting it. Love old Kilmarnock, not so much what it became…..

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

I agree!

[@cg00000]

Where is Big Blues?

[@jacquelineheronwray6782]

Apologies, I don't understand?

[@billycarr7094]

went too fast didn't have time to study photos

[@davidnichol6282]

Writing too small and pictures moving too fast.
