Hi

Yes it once stood where the Johnnie Walker distillery now is.

My Gran was born in Barleith, Block A or B... She recalls that there was very little room, only 2 rooms per house, one where all the kids slept and another where her parents slept and housed the stove. They had communal washing rooms and it was all very primitive! I have some photos I will have to dig out.

Any more links anyone finds to further info will be much appreciated.

JB :)
