Hi Bill, Congratulations on your website it is really wonderful and so much information. I have attached 3 photos of High Blantyre Primary School Choir with the music teacher Mrs Butler. These photos were taken between 1956 – 1960 - I think – maybe someone will know the exact dates. My name is Nancy Murphy (Boyd) I lived in Stonefield Crescent until I emigrated to Australia in 1972. I also have some photos of Thompson’s Licensed Grocery Shop that used to be in Hunthill Road and will attach them in a separate email. Keep up the good work. Best Wishes, Nancy	Robert Thomson Hunthill Road Off Licence
