Sacred heart is still going but its a new building now, the old one as you will remember has long gone, built the new one behind where the old one stood.
Church Kirk - long gone

Oh, and the cobbles on Victoria street have gone too

Hi Mike, welcome to the site, hope you enjoy a walk in the past. I was at Church Kick but a year below you, Live at 89 Church St until 66 when we left for Fern Gore.
