Ayrshire / Re: Schools from about 1910/1950

The last building of Russell Street School was demolished this year to make way for homes,it was called the Annexe,our community in North Wallacetoun would have liked to aquire it as a community hub,however it needed so much work done to it that we decided not to go ahead.Russell Drive is close by,however these are flats built in the 1970's not the old Russell St.

Ayrshire / Re: Nelsons Land Elba Street St Quivox

It was in fact Nelsons Lane or Lone,it was part of Wallacetown,which until the late 1900's early 20th century was in the Parish of St Quivox,I live next to Nelson Place which is 70's type flats,don't think they were named after anyone named Nelson locally,as the area had and still has,albeit newer properties a Nelson Place,Duke Terrace,Princes Court suggests the original homes were named after Royalty and perhaps Lord Nelson.
