"A Fire In Every Room": Upper Nithsdale Big Picture Interviews Part 1

In February 2015 the pupils from Kelloholm Primary School's P6 Class interviewed some older local residents who attend the Nith Valley Day Centre. Topics for conversation - referring to old photographs of the area - include the gasworks and pits, chimneys, street lamps and road surfaces. For still images from the area, please go to our Panoramio page: http://www.panoramio.com/user/8390767 or visit the Kirkconnel Parish Heritage Society's online photo gallery: http://kirkconnel.org/gallery/ If you know of any content - cine film, video (tape or digital), old photos or digitised images - which you think would contribute to the Upper Nithsdale Big Picture Project, please contact us through our gmail account: [email protected]
