help to name a Pub in Cleland please

[KaypH]

Hi Can someone from Cleland help please.  My great grandfather Tom Tait had a pub near Cleland cross. I think in the 1930s and 40s.  There aren't many of my grandparents generation still around but no one can remember what is is called - apart from Tam Tait's pub.  Can anyone help please?

The only pub near Cleland cross nowadays is Kelly's Bar, I'll ask around if it could have been Tait's previously.

Thank you. Il quiz my Mum again today but think that it might no longer be a pub.  She's well known for giving me duff information so I'll double check what she tells me.

Hello,thanks for your help.  I have a bit more information.
The pub was on the corner of Main St and Station Road, on the opposite corner from Tambourini's chip shop. My Mum thinks that her grandparents has the pub in the late 1910s and possibly early 20s. The family story is that her gran lost the lease as she didn't open the pub as she chose to do that rather than lose her husband to the drink.  My Mum remembers the pub was a house when she was at school in the late 30s and early 40s, and thinks that it is no longer there.

I have just looked on Google street view and at that junction (now a mini roundabout) is the following......

What look like council houses and flats on 2 corners......
One corner has a bar called Kelly's Bar
The other corner is a small white (mainly) and black building which is a Chinese take away (the chip shop?) which is oddly called Richmond Inn. Is that a clue?

See the view here....

Just asked my brother (who is an expert on Cleland pubs!) and he called his brother-in-law, who is cleland born & bred.
You are right, Tait's Bar was at the corner of Station Rd & Main St and is now a block of flats.
Kelly's bar used to be the Old Castle Bar.
There is an old photgraph of Tait's, my brother will try to find a copy and I'll post it here.

That would be great thanks.  There are only a couple of my family still in Cleland and it would be lovely to be able to remind everyone of Tam's pub. He was such a character and important in our family story  Thanks so much for your help.
