Johnstone's - Photo History

 
High Street from McDowall Street

A busy High Street in or near the 1920's with a Tram in the distance stopped just outside where Woolworths is now. Some of the children are barefoot, showing the poverty at this time. 

Few changes here, I'm happy to say, why am I happy to say, well places like Braehead will come and go, they have no soul, but a High Street holds the promise of shops with people who have set them up and run their business from them. Johnstone Domestic Appliances are here, Penmans, a long established family business is here and the Deli at the corner (it's next to the amber light - too dark to see - sorry) is one of the best places for coffee and a cake I have the pleasure of tasting :-)
