Quite a few bus drivers used to stay on Littlewood Place as well. Ronnie Fraser, Ian Harper and Johnnie Dow all lived on the street.

You can also add Dod Watt to that list as he lived at the bottom of Littlewood Place at 21 Montgarrie Road but a large part of his garden bordered Littlewood Place.

The baker's name at the end of Big Nick's list is Gordon Young. He and his wife, Hilda, and son, Roy, were our next door neighbours on the Littlewood Place side.

Hello there, can anyone tell me a bit more about Margaret Thomson? Was she originally from Alford, was she married here / did she get married / have any children? Just interested as doing my family tree. Thanks.
