Annandale Bridge Club was formed in 1949 at Annandale on St Fort Road, Woodhaven, the home of the Tanner family. It quickly outgrew the hall and lounge there, and they moved to the Blyth Hall in 1950. Apart from 1973 - 1974 when the hall was being altered and extended, the bridge club has met ...
Wonderful photograph showing the arrival of crowds of passengers and carriages coming off the ferry, all apparently dressed in their 'Sunday best'. Pier clock says 3.30. It certainly looks like a special occasion, but will we ever know what it was?

Lovely view of the B L Nairn powering her way over the river. The top deck is busy with passengers enjoying the blustery conditions, and the car deck is well filled too. The B L Nairn was built at the Caledon Yard in Dundee, and was in operation from 1929 until the ferry service ended ...

This photograph shows the decorative panel on the entrance wall to the houses where Steele and Brodie beekeeping equipment workshops stood.

Any ...
