Dumfriesshire / Re: Greenbrae Loaning Dumfries
« on: Thursday 10 March 16 13:45 GMT (UK) »
If you are interested in Dumfries history, or want to find a long vanished house, this site is incredible. http://www.oldmapsonline.org/map/nls/75503129
I was able to find out that the green site at Greenbrae Loaning was a hospital of infectious diseases, pre-innoculation, I suppose this included many ailments that no longer worry us at all!
As for Dumfries, the main worry is that the council have allowed many old buildings, still viable, to be allowed to rot until they have to be demolished. Barrie's home was saved for children's literature, but the Vennel now has unsightly gaps.....
