| The ground floor on this corner was 2-4 Cuthbert St and was the 'Relief Office' which was a bit like the Dole. Men would queue in the back lane one day a week for some financial help. My gran lived upstairs (Cecilia Rodger) and the entrance to her Flat was via the back yard up an external staircase. Cecilia was a very shy lady so on that day she stayed in the house all day rather than go in and out past a queue of men. |

| The Council Yard was on this land which was between the railway lines and Glen St. Not many years later (in ww2) the yard was bombed and quite a few people were killed. |

 This building in the thumbnail photo Ive attached from about 1914 is named 'Urinals' on a 1914 map. Is it still a Urinal in 1927 though? |

| The Bauxite |

This area was known locally as 'The Bauxite'. Not a lot is recorded about this 'British Aluminium Co' apart from it produced Aluminium Hydroxide from the ore known as 'Bauxite'. A lot of waste known as red mud was a by-product of the process & it was dumped on the site producing hillocks/mounds of this red mud. It was fenced off to keep people off it. |

| This is Bauxite waste that was left in big mounds when the Bauxite Co moved out of the town. The waste was a reddish colour & stained your shoes so we all knew to keep off it. |
