Thanks to chattichatton for the link to these maps which are superb to look at:-

It was really interesting to see maps showng the locjh right up as far as Lochend Street and no Kinlocj Green - never seen that before.

Interesting to see in the 1866 map that my own house is shown which means it is alot older than I thought - 140 years old. I thought it was built in 1900 - perhaps some of the older generation know? :shock:

And nice to note the correct name for Askomil Walk! :wink:

Thanks for the brilliant maps. I have a collection of old maps but have never seen one with the original site of Dalintober School at the top of Saddell Street.

Kewl! Found my house on the 1924 OS map but then I know it was built in 1890 because there's a big stone plaque on the front that says so.

Not much else in the neighbourhood though. Just the pub, the farm, the church and what was presumably the manse.

Cheers
