Buggy Buildings - Blantyre

Recognise Anyone?

Bill,

I have copies of these photos that were inherited from my late grandfather, William Dobson, although I don't know who any of these people are.  I think that they are associated with the "Buggy" buildings, so if any of the visitors to this site could shed any light on them, then I would be obliged. 

Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

Kind regards

From the name of this photo, it appears to be Gran Dobson's Womens Guild

Dear Bill,

Great website !!!! On page 6 of your old photographs, the above lady posted a photo labelled "Gran Dobsons Womens Guild" and asked if anybody could identify them.

I dont know how long ago it was, but I can help.

This was a snap of St Josephs Catholic Womens Guild in the 1950s on their September weekend trip to Blackpool My Mother, Mary Peat is in the back row left , framed by the door. The lady kneeling on the extreme left was called Lizzy Reilly and the lady on the extreme right standing with the bag was Cathy Cummiskey who had a son and daughter Alec and Morag and is the grandmother of your Poetic contributer , who talks about the Whelans and the Cummiskeys.
