Burnbank / Blantyre Women

Recognise Anyone?

Some Blantyre woman (including my nan, seated second from right) working in Burnbank.

Maybe someone else can put names to the other people featured?

Hi. Bill

What a fantastic site.  I was born and brought up in “Bairds Rows”, moved to the Prefabs, then Cowan Wilson Avenue, got married and stay in Hamilton now.
I looked at the Burnbank and Blantyre women and recognized my Mum and her Friend.   Back Row 1st left Betty Mowbray, Hill Street, Burnbank, and my Mum is Back Row 3rd left Annie O’Rourke, Hill Street, Burnbank, I know she worked in the carpet factory at Burnbank Cross when she was young.

Thanks again for the memories.
