Saltcoats beach photo - late 1940s

Post by Hughie »

I just couldn't resist sharing this lovely photo with members who are not on FB. And also the comments by the poster Michael Clarke. There was a share button! ;)
Saltcoats - late 40s.jpg
This photo was taken of us on the sand beside the Galloway Burn/just down from the Pagoda that used to be on the prom. Photographer was on the wall for height. Think this was for the local newspaper. Kids playing on the shore asked to gather for photo. Remember being asked to cheer. Came out well, all seem dead happy. I'm behind Colum McCann (front) who has his mouth 'cupped' in a loud shout. Colum's brother Pat is next to him Photo needed quite a bit of photoshopping to get rid of scratches, tears, marks and of course fading.
I've sent a copy to member Mike McCann whom I was in contact with last week.
