at the front too and upstairs was where the records were and you could get the shop assistant to put one on and you would go into a booth to listen to it. This is Keni in the back green of 33 Fettercairn Avenue where Gran lived in 1957 I used to love going to The Bluebell Woods- behind Peel Glen area, with my friends; it was carpeted in bluebells and we'd pick bunches of them to take home. It always felt like we had gone miles away into the country and it was even better because we weren't supposed to go there! I remember when the swimming baths opened. We'd go there all the time, especially in the holidays. Before they opened we'd either have to go to the old ones in Whiteinch or Clydebank. It was amazing to have a pie and beans in the cafe when we came out! The 'shows' used to come during the holidays too. They used to be behind the shops on Dunkenny Road before they were extended from Arnotts up to the bingo then moved over to behind the Swimming Baths later. They were the place to be and be seen as teenagers! ! ! What memories... 14
Tracy’s Mum – 1960s When my mum was younger she used to play scraps in the playground. She said it was fairy’s cottages, cherubs etc and you used to look at each others books and put to the top of the book which scrap you used to want to swap with. She also said that they used to cause a lot of fights because some went missing. When she was home she used to play round the middens and pull out all the empty tins and bottles and play shops. Also when she was younger she used to play with a whip and peerie. It was like a spinning top and she used to put it on the ground and hit it with a whip. She sometimes used to race her friends with theirs along the street. She also used to play marbles by placing the marbles in the holes of the stanks and trying to hit the marbles out using other marbles. She used to swap them with her friends too. 15
