Storm at Millport November 1912

by Gordon Hart 21 December

I am about to visit Millport for the first time in about 25 years and was going through old photos, mainly of relatives and friends and came across the attached pictures taken during a storm in 1912 - 99 years ago! They are printed on postcards and the photograhper was AG Wright. I also found a postcard which I must have bought in the 1950's of the Talisman and a picture taken from my grandfather's window at Nithsdale of the Talisman leaving the pier. Note the puddles and the sunshine which bears testament to the fact that it never rains a whole day in Millport!

I have been told that, in the top picture, Mary Hunter is the lady hanging out of the window above what is now The Ritz Cafe.

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
