Its almost like they want to remove any history that people ever lived in Glengarnock.
RW Knox Lamp #northayrshire #kilbirnie
Does anyone else remember this lamp? The last time I saw it was in the stables museum (the small museum which was at one point beneath the walker Hall) and the lamp had been removed from a bridge in the town.
I´m sure I have a recollection of this so it must have been there back in the 70s.
The houses behind give a clue but I can´t quite place it.

#northayrshire #kilbirnie : How the Longbar got it’s name #beith
I was trying to explain to a friend about the “Longbar” (And how rough it used to be) when he asked me where the name came from.
It was built on top of another earlier group of houses known as “the Lambert”. Over time and with the number of folk moving in, it then became known as the Lamber, then langbar and someone clearly thought this was a bit colloquial so they finally corrected Lang to Long and it became “Longbar”.
