Exactly. Just a lot of very bad pictures of a very good town. My home town. I had a good childhood in drumpellier and blairhill. Everyone was happy in the sixties and seventies. We all had the same upbringing. Maybe less money in each home but the same values. It was not a poor wee town. It was a hard working town. Not to be portrayed as a poverty stricken place.
Sorry, but I didn't enjoy this very much. Where are photos of the OTHER buildings in Coatbridge that were (and still are) a whole lot more interesting that a bunch of crappy pubs? These photos show C/bridge at its very worst.
Obviouslly youre a boot , a frustrated old virgin , away and lighten up and gie s all peace, yer ragin cos thers no a picture ae yer da comii g out ae court goin tae gaol for pumpin wee bloon blowers!
Thanks very much for this - can't tell you much I enjoyed it. Was born at the back end of the 50's and these images bring it all flooding back.

You can take the girl out of Coatbridge, but you can t take Coatbridge out of the girl.
In the sixties Coatbridge was a dump and still is. It had more pubs than any other town. Sorry just a fact !
