My father Duncan McArthur was born in Craigneuk in 1939 and stayed in Meadowhead Road, he recently asked me to find some auld photos of the area and these pictures on this forum are great!
He talks about picking his dad's wages up at the Etna Steel works when he was about 7!

Wow! What a fantastic picture Lud, some of the men on their way home after work by the looks of them. Mrs Givens wouldn't allow them to spend too much of their wages, she could show most of the so-called publicans nowadays how to run a pub. Trixie was the same, she chased them home to stop them drinking all the money. Annie O'Neil in the Knowtop Bar was the same.
