Down Memory Lane

THIS week we refer to the Times Past article for 50 Years Ago published on June 7 about the Meikleholm houses.

KC DML June 21
Mr & Mrs John Barnfather outside their new home at Meikleholm, Langholm in 1962

The houses were built in 1962. The article said it was a near miracle what could be done with a piece of wasteground with time, labour and material.

Irene Armstrong, née Barnfather, wrote to us after reading the article and found this photo of her mum and dad outside their new front door. They were one of the first couples to move into the new houses at Meikleholm.

She remembers when Mrs Reid kept hens and hounds on the ground for many years. If you have any old pictures you would like us to print, please bring them into the office in the High Street or email them to eskdale.news@cngroup.co.uk
