The Cosy Corner
(As seen on Drew Semple's DVD - Aint No Characters Anymore.)

Recognise Your Grandad or Dad?

I got an email from Gibby Mooney in Canada who said,

" Hi bill, looking at the Drew Semple video, Aint No Characters Anymore , the picture at the Cozy Corner pub, the big guy at the back is my dad. I think the one with the cap on. We lived across the road in Craig Street number 45 then moved to 4 Belvoir Place behind the Parkville. I think that was Dr Gordens house at one time. My name is Gibby Mooney, brother David, dad Jock worked at Robertsons as did his dad David Mooney".

Co-incidence or what? Gibby was instrumental in introducing my sister Cathie to her husband to be, Ian Miller. Now they are back in touch after all these years!!

So, for a bit of fun, let's see if we can identify our Grandad's, Dad's, Brother's and Cousins in the photo which was taken circa 1950. And, they are obviousy celebrating winning a Cup, does anyone know what it was for? No Prizes, just some fun and putting the history record straight.

The Pub which stood on the corner of Glasgow Road and GreensIde Street , were winners of most of the Darts and Domino competitions they entered in the mid 1950's . and these are all the Trophies won, they are celebrating their victory with a fun day out, to some Miner's Club in Fife which was a favourite of theirs. - James Cornfield

We will number them left to right, so standing we have 1 - 23 with Jock Mooney at No: 12

Crouching we have Nos: 24 - 32

If you can identify anyone or have any more information about the Cups, let me know. Cosy Corner Photo Update
