Date Created13th May 2020CommentsPauline Naylor Inverness St Dunollie, and i think the lady on the front porch is Mrs Alice Naisbet. I lived just around the corner in Somerled Avenue.

Janet Kilkelly No, thats the top end. Twelve Apostles in the background

Pauline Naylor Janet Kilkelly oh ok Janet, my mistake. I thought the houses looked like Mr and Mrs Naisbets, Mr and Mrs James, and Aunty Kim and Uncle Phil Crowley's.

Carol Cook No 59 .... where were lived for 24 years. And Lou Aitken next door.

Abbie Catherine Cook Carol Cook is that our house Cee Cee?

Tom Currie i lived in one of those houses

Sharon Kaye Lots of great memories growing up in Inverness Street

Maye Dunn Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they were State Mine houses, built especially for the miners.

Lana Vargas You’re right Maye. I remember Mum saying that.

Alan N Barb Cochrane even has it's safe on the side

Alan Messenger I rented one in Somerled A e from State Advances ( Housing Corp)

Greg King My mother June King nee Grieve lived with her parents Andy and May and sister Betty in Herd Street. I think it may have been No 2, which was opposite the bowls club. Sadly the house is no longer there and the bowls club was defunct when I visited many years ago.

Betty Tindale They were built for state mine housing in the beginning .

Trish Rennie That could be Mrs London (Jack London) on the porch and her son Kerry on the wee bike..just around the corner lived Lou Aitken and the Muncasters on the corner. I think Jack London was the mine manager then and that is the mine managers home...

Betty Tindale Hi Trish you are right great place Inverness st and your parents dairy 100and 1 kids in Inverness st so Doug’ cob our bus driver said he called it napkin ally .
