I thought I would let you see part of the public park where I spent so much time in when I was a boy.

 The first thing you will notice is the Chute (slide) which was said to be the biggest in Europe. A mat was supplied to sit on, if you were brave enough to have a go, the locals found it no bother in fact I and others used to go down rubbing a candle on the chute so we could slide faster.! Sadly the chute has been removed, too dangerous for our present day children

Below is the pond where you could hire a paddle boat for the half hour. I recall that the pond was full of Tadpoles.

The bridge is the Linthaugh Bridge (Brig) over the River Avon, a tributary of the Clyde, with the road on the far side going off to the right is a country road to Larkhall.

The flat field on the far side was a golf course about 90 years back, and I understand that in the time of the Druids this is where the stilted village stood. Closer, about 55 years back I remember helping the farmer to lift the potatoes.
