Hear is a photo I took at the Dalmuir Park Illuminations. We have had them every September weekend for the last eight years. They used to be a big event when it was started to the celebrate the end of WWII but fell away till they were stopped, but in recent years was reintroduced.

Hello George, Sorry it's taken me so long to reply but I don't have any photos of the prefabs at Peter's Square. I have been asking around but so far no success. I think most of, or all the prefabs were knocked down by the time I started taking photos. If I come across any in the future, I will let you know.

Best regards.

Owen

Hello Owen, yes St Margaret's Hospice was built on the site. I think the last one was pulled down around 1966, which was over 20 years after they were built. Not bad for something designed as "temporary" housing
