Lanarkshire / Re: Old Families of Crowhill Road Bishopbriggs
« on: Saturday 22 November 08 14:25 GMT (UK) »
Thank you for the welcome aghadowey and for the advice. I understand now. It's wonderful to be able to exchange stories and photos on here. My family lived in the Bishopbriggs Kirkintilloch area from around the mid 1800's. I had connections with the area right up until my mother died in 2001. I have another attached photo here and I would love to know where it was taken, is there a particular area of the site specifically for photos? This one is of my great great grandfather Lawrence Barclay and his wife Mary Young (on the right of the photo)

Hi Fintry Girl ( I know Fintry....especially the Loup!!) Thanks for your reply but I am new to this and I received an error message saying I wasn't allowed to reply to you via personal message so I hope you can get this as part of the thread.... not sure what I've done wrong!!. That is not my Great Aunt Alice in the picture who owned the shop with her mother, but it is her sister (another Jean) and she went on to own a shop on the Great Western Road called Jean Megahy Antiques and in fact I think it might still be there but is now a book shop. I went back a couple of years ago and it was wonderful because they hadn't changed anything.

My Great Aunt Alice Rice owned a sweetie shop in Bishopbriggs, just a stones throw away from Crowhill Road in Springburn Road. They have demolished it now, you can see why in the cutting attached. Maybe your father got his poke of sweeties here. It was in the family for many years as her mother owned it before she did. It was called J. Rice. See attached picture.
