Would anyone with local knowledge of the Newmains/Cambusnethan area know of a property by the name of "Ardyne" in Manse St Newmains, owned for many years by the Inglis family who operated a draper/clothing store and probably resided upstairs? I know the family were there from 1891 until perhaps the early 1950s. The 1891 & 1901 censuses don't give a street number. Is it possible the building is still there or that there might be a photo of "Ardyne"?
Any help appreciated,
Sage.

Manse ROAD in Newmains is the main street where most of the shops are. I don't know of a Manse Street and couldn't find it when I Googled - it may have changed over the years.
I lived in nearby Cambusnethan in the late 60's, early 70's and it was Manse Road then.
"Ardyne" is also the name of a house in Belhaven Terrace, Wishaw. It belonged to Dr. J. R. Logan one of the local G.P.'s.
I wonder if the local library would have old photos of Manse Road/Street?
My sister-in-law is very familiar with Newmains but unfortunately she left yesterday for a weeks holiday. Sorry I can't be more help!
edited to add: I've just been on Google street view for Manse Road and you can see several buildings with accommodation above...I wonder if you could narrow the location down by checking out the neighbouring census entries and working from there? Just a thought...

Thankyou JulesT & Sancti,
I've visited the area recently and there appears to be some original buildings still there along the shopping strip. I'll keep chipping away at this one. I'm sure local input is my best bet. JulesT, if you think to ask your sister-in-law when she returns from hols that would be most helpful.
Thanks again,
Sage.

I'll ask her when she comes home next week. She also has a lot of family in Newmains and maybe one of them will remember - fingers crossed!
